‘USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage’ Trailer Looks…Wow
One of the greatest monologues in cinema history has to go to Jaws, where Robert Shaw’s Quint talks about his experience aboard the USS Indianapolis, the ship that delivered parts for the atomic bomb that would fall upon Hiroshima during World War II. The Navy cruiser was struck by a Japanese submarine and sank, leaving some 900 men floating in the Pacific Ocean for four days, where sharks began attacking and eating the sailors. It’s a horrifying true story and Shaw’s monologue drives home the terror that every man in the water must’ve felt.
Today, we’ve gotten a trailer for USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage, which is a movie about that very event.
“The harrowing true story of the crew of the USS Indianapolis, who were stranded in the Philippine Sea for five days after delivering the atomic weapons that would eventually end WWII. As they awaited rescue, they endured extreme thirst, hunger, and relentless shark attacks.”
Directed by Mario Van Peebles and starring Nicolas Cage and Tom Sizemore, the film looks…honestly it looks rough. There’s some terrible CGI and a lot of overacting, none of which I want to see when it comes to a story that is so important and haunting.
The film was supposed to have already come out but has apparently been pushed back to a November 11th release date, according to WKRG.
In the wake of Larry Fessenden’s werewolf movie Blackout releasing at home just last week, werewolf horror returns with the indie film Byte being unleashed later this week.
After its world premiere at the HorrorHound Film Festival in March, we’ve learned that Byte will be available April 18 on streaming platforms. Watch the official trailer below.
“In a concept generated for today’s Gen Z audience, the film follows a group of college-aged friends who become concerned when one of them discovers a mysterious phone app that turns users into werewolves. Meanwhile, a spate of violent killings plagues the city.”
Kayden Bryce, Marshall Vargas, Carlie Allen, Stephen Nicholas Knight, Debbie Scaletta, Bill Schroeder, Cali Jacobs, Candela Orio, Amanda Yanzanny, and Chris Hahn star.
Eddie Lengyel (Mother Krampus 2, American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet) directs and produces from his screenplay. Fellow producer is Marie Lengyel. Jeff Miller (Ouija House) and Ronnie D. Lee (The Toybox) executive produce. Mick Kunz shot and edited the film.
“I think our concept of ‘technology meets werewolves’ is something audiences will dig,” producer Jeff Miller said in a statement. “Grab a pizza, sit back, and enjoy!”
Byte is a co-production between Millman Productions, Fright Teck Pictures, and Ron Lee Productions. In addition to the trailer, you’ll also find the upcoming film’s poster art below.
