Yikes! Dinosaurs in the jungles of Vietnam
Picture it: Vietnam, 1968. A recon unit known as Vulture Squad is sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. They soon discover they are not alone. This live-action adaptation of Ethan Pettus’ popular book and comic series will be coming out in mid-2025. Written and directed by Luke Sparke, it was filmed in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia. With scenery like that, the cinematography should be pretty awesome. Known for his works like “Occupation Rainfall” and “Bring Him To Me,” the Australian director is at the helm of this new venture that promises to be a blend of survival horror, war drama, and prehistoric adventure.
The story will combine historical conflict with ancient creatures. Leading the charge in this film are acclaimed actors Ryan Kwanten, Tricia Helfer, and Jeremy Piven. Kwanten, known for his role in “True Blood,” brings his expertise to the forefront, alongside Helfer, famous for her portrayal of Number Six in “Battlestar Galactica,” and Piven, a Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe winner for his role in “Entourage.” The dinosaurs promise to be more scientifically and historically accurate compared to similar films. It also blends action with survival-horror and war themes.
Sparke commented during pre-production that he was captivated by the imagery surrounding Ethan’s book and the story it told. I’ve worked hard on capturing that essence but also the grittiness, horror aspects, and military edge. My vision is to feel like the characters have walked out of the film ‘platoon’ and into the jaws of the greatest predators the planet has ever known.
