A24’s Bloody Combat Film ‘Warfare’ Gets Veterans Screening in Hollywood With Charles Melton, D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai
Alex Garland's "Civil War" follow-up, "Warfare," screened for the first time in Hollywood to a crowd of real life veterans.
A year after Alex Garland stirred the American political pot with his dystopian drama “Civil War,” the British director introduced a different kind of combat movie to an audience of U.S. veterans on Wednesday night in Hollywood. A real-time account of a harrowing 2006 mission in Iraq, the film from Garland and co-director Ray Mendoza screened for the first time at the American Legion Post 43 – a legendary VA house on Highland Ave. erected in 1919 , built by WWI vets and their supporters entering the motion picture business. A meticulous on-screen recreation of their mission recruited some of the most promising young talent in Hollywood for its ensemble cast, including Charles Melton, “Reservation Dogs” breakout D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai, Kit Connor, Joseph Quinn, Will Poulter, Cosmo Jarvis and Michael Gandolfini.
