New Trailer For Ang Lee's Ambitious War Drama Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk


Sony Pictures Entertainment has released a new trailer for Academy Awards winning filmmaker Ang Lee's upcoming Iraq war drama Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk.

Based on the acclaimed bestselling novel of the same name  author by Ben Fountain, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk stars newcomer Joe Alwyn as Billy, a young soldier who returns home for a victory tour after a harrowing battle against Iraqi forces. Through a series of flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions.

Opening inn theaters on November 11, the 120 frames per second drama also stars Vin Diesel, Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, Steve Martin, Chris Tucker, Tim Blake Nelson, and Astro.



Three-time Academy Award® winner Ang Lee brings his extraordinary vision to Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, based on the widely-acclaimed, bestselling novel.  The film is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour.  Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions.  The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel, and Steve Martin. Lee used new technology, shooting at an ultra-high frame rate for the first time in film history, to create an immersive digital experience helping him dramatize war in a way never seen before.
