Tense, fast-paced, and an all-out sensory overload—these are just a few ways the cast describes Warfare, the explosive action war drama from Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza and director Alex Garland. With an already intense trailer setting expectations high, A24 has now dropped a behind-the-scenes featurette showcasing Mendoza, Garland, and the film’s powerhouse cast as they relive the harrowing realities of combat. Featuring real bullets, massive explosions, and unrelenting tension, Warfare promises to be one of the most immersive war films in recent memory. The film hits theaters everywhere on April 11th, courtesy of A24.
In the newly released featurette, Mendoza and Garland delve into the film’s raw authenticity, the cast’s deeply immersive experience, and the unwavering commitment to recreating the devastation of war. With a story rooted in Mendoza’s firsthand experience, Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of Navy SEALs stationed in the home of an Iraqi family, monitoring the movement of U.S. forces through insurgent territory. Told in real time, the film is a visceral, boots-on-the-ground depiction of modern warfare, based on the memories of those who lived it.
Starring D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis, Kit Connor, Finn Bennett, Taylor John Smith, Michael Gandolfini, Adain Bradley, Noah Centineo, Evan Holtzman, Henrique Zaga, with Joseph Quinn and Charles Melton, Warfare is shaping up to be a war film unlike any other this year.
