Mega
movie star Brad Pitt has been dedicating most of his time in the industry
towards producing in the last few years acting as a Producer and Executive
Producer in projects like HBO’s The
Normal Heart, Selma, The Big Short (which he also co-starred in), Netflix’s
The OA and the upcoming film Okja along with awards fare like Best
Picture winners, 12 Years a Slave and
Moonlight. Now, he’s working his way
back into acting as the trailer for another Netflix movie in which he’s also
producing titled War Machine has
released its first teaser.
War Machine is the satirical war film
based on the book The Operators: The Wild
& Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan that revolves
around Pitt’s character General Stanley McChrystal who oozes confidence and
charisma who was cut down by an expose by a journalist. You can get the true
vibe from the trailer that Pitt is perfect for this character and though there
isn’t a ton of footage shown, it seems like it could be a socially conscious
but hilarious movie for the streaming giant. Netflix has been acquiring films
left and right to distribute and can soon see themselves in the Oscar race
similar to what Amazon just did with Manchester
by the Sea. War Machine is just
one of the films in their loaded slate that also includes David Ayer’s Bright and Bong Joon-Ho’s Okja. Both of those films just released
teasers over the weekend and this film is next in line.
