               It seems that Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg have become a frequent pairing as the director/actor combo have worked on Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon together. Now, we have the first trailer for their upcoming collaboration Patriots Day.

            Patriots Day relives the events surrounding the terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon only three years ago. Though the trailer doesn’t dig too much into the story, it is an incredibly dramatic and somber trailer that stars Wahlberg as a police officer working the event. In addition to this, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are composing the score. This is massive because it’s only the award winning team’s fifth feature film that they’re scoring, as they won the Academy Award for Best Original Score for The Social Network. Their rendition of “America, the Beautiful” works wonderfully in the trailer.

            Along with Wahlberg, the film stars Michelle Monaghan, John Goodman, Kevin Bacon, J.K. Simmons and Alex Wolff. Patriots Day opens everywhere January 13^th, 2017. Check out the first trailer below!
