Midway
A teaser trailer has arrived for Roland Emmerich’sMidway . Emmerich , of course , is best known for having wreaked havoc on the worldly concern in films likeIndependence Day , The Day After Tomorrow , and2012 . Every so often , however , the director like to take a break from the CGI pyrotechnics and try his deal at a comparatively grounded period composition . Among the topics he ’s tackled so far are the American Revolutionary War ( The Patriot ) , the 1969 Stonewall protests ( Stonewall ) , and the confederacy possibility about whoreallywrote William Shakespeare ’s frolic ( Anonymous ) .
WithMiday , Emmerich turns his attention to WWII and the Battle of Midway , an authoritative turn point in the Pacific Theater ( the theater of the war between the Allies and Japanese Empire ) . The moving picture is direct by a adept - dot cast that let in Ed Skrein , Patrick Wilson , Mandy Moore , and Luke Evans , in gain to Woody Harrelson , Dennis Quad , and Aaron Eckhart . Now , with the summer movie season underway , Lionsgate is getting the film ’s marketing effort up and running .

Even with the historical setting , theMidwaytrailer looks and find like a preview for one of Emmerich ’s disaster thrillers . In - between the glimpses of blowup - heavy ethereal and naval battles ( go with the bombardment of Pearl Harbor ) , the poke enter Wilson as Lieutenant Commander Edwin T. Layton , in addition to Skrein as Lieutenant Dick Best , a nose dive - bombing Navy pilot , and Moore as his married woman , Anne . The titular engagement was previously dramatize in 1976’sMidway , which similarly featured a big - name cast led by Charlton Heston , Henry Fonda , and James Coburn , among others . However , judging by the trailer , Emmerich ’s take on the event will hew closer to Michael Bay’sPearl Harbor , in terms of its melodramatic tonicity and loud spectacle .
When it comes to his point play , Emmerich has a reasonably underwhelming caterpillar tread record . The Patriotwas a small achiever , butAnonymouswas largely ignored at the box federal agency andStonewallcame up wakeless vital fire for white - washinga major upshot in LGBTQ story . Midwaymostly looks like a generic , but harmlessly overblown WWII movie so far , but it might be best to wait and see how the plastic film portrays its Japanese eccentric before making that call . Either way , it has a fight ahead of itself , when it open during what ’s form up to be a very competitive inning this November .
