Ryan Kwanten Takes on Dinosaurs in Explosive ‘Primitive War’ Trailer
Brace yourselves, cinephiles, for a wild ride through time and terror! “Primitive War” is about to redefine your understanding of the Vietnam War—because who needs just soldiers when you can have dinosaurs lurking in the jungle? Directed by Luke Sparke, and based on Ethan Pettus’ riveting novel, this sci-fi horror flick thrusts a team of U.S. soldiers into a nightmarish world where their enemies are not just human but also prehistoric. Now, if you thought the jungles of Vietnam were harrowing enough, wait until you see what’s lurking beneath those canopies! The film stars Ryan Kwanten and Jeremy Piven, who find themselves in a high-stakes search and rescue mission amidst a backdrop of chaos and, oh yes, dinosaurs.
Set in 1968, the plot follows the Vulture Squad, a group tasked with uncovering the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. The trailer tantalizingly hints at a horror-filled adventure where the soldiers must tap into their primal instincts to survive against nature’s ultimate predators. Piven’s character chillingly states, “Three days ago, I lost my Green Berets. There was something going on in that battle,” a phrase that suggests this isn’t your typical war drama—it’s a full-blown battle for survival against apex predators.
Sparke, who wears many hats on this project as director, co-writer, and producer, expressed his enthusiasm for the film, citing the rich concepts in Pettus’ work that shaped the adaptation. With an ensemble cast including Tricia Helfer and Nick Wechsler, “Primitive War” promises to elevate the survival horror genre to new heights. And for those who aren’t aware, this film isn’t just a one-off; it’s part of a series that includes sequels already in the pipeline, ensuring that viewers will have more dinosaur-infused escapades to look forward to.
In a world where history is often dry and predictable, “Primitive War” takes the cake—and the Jurassic bite. So prepare yourselves for a cinematic experience that blends the brutal realities of war with the fantastical chaos of dinosaurs. If nothing else, this film is bound to leave you questioning what truly lurks in the shadows of history. Class dismissed—don’t forget to bring your popcorn!
