First trailer for Richard Linklater’s Last Flag Flying

August 24, 2017 by Amie Cranswick

Amazon Studios has debuted the first trailer for director Richard Linklater’s upcoming film Last Flag Flying. The film is an adaptation of Darryl Ponicsan’s 2005 novel of the same name (a sequel to his 1970 book The Last Detail) and features a cast that includes Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, and Laurence Fishburne; take a look at the trailer here…

In 2003, 30 years after they served together in the Vietnam War, former Navy Corps medic Richard “Doc” Shepherd (Steve Carell) re-unites with ex-Marines Sal (Bryan Cranston) and Mueller (Laurence Fishburne) on a different type of mission: to bury Doc’s son, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War. Doc decides to forgo burial at Arlington Cemetery and, with the help of his old buddies, takes the casket on a bittersweet trip up the East Coast to his home in suburban New Hampshire. Along the way, Doc, Sal and Mueller reminisce and come to terms with shared experiences of the war that continue to shape their lives. Director Richard Linklater and author Darryl Ponicsan collaborated on the screenplay which follows the trio as they wrestle with the pangs of war both past and present.

Last Flag Flying is set for release on November 3rd.
