Description
Includes the screenplays for Warfare and Civil War, with an accompanying interview on screenwriting with Iraq War verteran Ray Mendoza, who co-wrote and co-directed Warfare with Alex Garland.
Warfare embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told like never before: in real time, and based on the memory of the people who lived it -- co-writer/co-director Ray Mendoza was a part of the platoon. Warfare will be released in cinemas in April 2025.
From Alex Garland comes Civil War, a journey across a dystopian future America following a team of military-embedded journalists as they race against time to reach DC before rebel factions descend upon the White House. The film stars Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Nick Offerman.
Two new screenplays from Alex Garland.
