Gerard Butler, Sam Worthington and Matthew McConaughey in THUNDER RUN
So, what do you get when you put Gerard Butler, Sam Worthington and Matthew McConaughey all in one movie? Here’s an answer: you get an action thriller guys!
And, just in case you still believe there’s no good thriller without 3D, well…maybe you’re right!
And, since you’re right, we’re here to present a project titled , which will be directed by Simon West and will definitely have the above mentioned cast on board, so yeah – we’re all interested!
Thunder Run, is an all CG 3-D action thriller based on the novel Thunder Run – The Armored Strike to Capture Baghdad, by Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent David Zucchino. It’s an untold story of the dangerous and bloody capture of Baghdad by American Forces at the onset of the Iraq War.
In April 2003, three battalions and fewer than a thousand men launched a violent thrust of tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles into the heart of a city of five million, igniting a three-day blitzkrieg, which military professionals often refer to as a lightning strike, or “thunder run.”
In telling the story of the surprise assault on Baghdad – one of the most decisive battles in recent American combat history–this movie paints the harrowing picture of the soldiers on the front lines and the realities of modern warfare.
Brian Presley, CEO of Freedom Films, will produce the whole thing, and here’s what he revealed:
“We are very excited to have attracted this outstanding level of acting and writing talent. ‘Thunder Run’ will be the first ever conventional war film made to utilize this revolutionary facial and motion capture technology and state of the art CG and 3D. Simon and I have developed this project over the last five years so it will be nice to see it come alive.”
Additional casting will begin in the next week, so make sure you stay tuned for more updates!
