Dinosaurs in Vietnam!
The first look footage for “Primitive War”, the latest action-packed survival epic from Sparke Films, has finally dropped, and it’s already getting people talking. Directed by Luke Sparke, the mind behind “Occupation Rainfall” and “Bring Him To Me”, this film blends two seemingly unrelated genres – the Vietnam War and prehistoric creatures – into an exciting and terrifying story that is bound to keep audiences on the edge of their seats. Isn’t pretty much everyone fascinated by dinosaurs? “Primitive War” is going to be a hit!
A newly released featurette provides an exciting peek behind the scenes of “Primitive War,” revealing insights from the director and cast as they discuss the complexities of filming this ambitious project. Viewers get a glimpse at the massive sets that were built to bring this unique vision to life. From intricate jungle environments to militaristic structures, the film showcases huge, detailed sets that help create an immersive experience.
Fun fact, the crew ventured into real jungle locations, facing the challenges of filming in the rugged, unforgiving terrain to ensure an authentic feel. The featurette also highlights the effort put into the film’s survival elements, with the cast revealing the difficulties they faced while enduring harsh conditions to bring “Primitive War” to life. It’s clear that every detail was meticulously crafted to immerse audiences in this high-stakes adventure.
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. 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 including Primetime Emmy Award and Golden Globe Winner, Jeremy Piven (Entourage, Old School), Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer), Screen Actors Guild Nominee Ryan Kwanten (True Blood, Red Hill) and Nick Wechsler (Revenge, The Boys).
