Dinosaur, action, and horror fans, prepare for a double dose of prehistoric excitement! 2024 is shaping up to be a banner year. Not only is the premiere of the highly anticipated Jurassic World: Rebirth on the horizon, but so is the arrival of Primitive War, a uniquely terrifying take on the dinosaur genre. The first trailer has already ignited a wave of excitement. It teases a visually stunning film that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

A Gripping Adaptation

Primitive War draws inspiration from Ethan Pettus’s critically acclaimed comic series, which first captivated audiences in 2017. The narrative was further expanded in Pettus’s 2022 novel. Luke Sparke adapted the story, penned the screenplay, and is in the director’s chair. He promises a visually stunning and narratively gripping experience.

An Impressive Cast

The film boasts a star-studded ensemble cast. It stars Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”), Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”), Jeremy Piven (“Entourage”), and Nick Wechsler (“Revenge”). Carlos Sanson (“Bump”) and Aaron Glenane (“Interceptor”) round out the cast.

The Mission

Primitive War transports viewers to the heart of the Vietnam War in 1968, a time already fraught with unimaginable horrors. An elite recon unit, the Vulture Squad, is dispatched to a remote jungle to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. However, their mission quickly devolves into a terrifying fight for survival as they discover they are not alone in the jungle. Terrifying dinosaurs roam the treacherous terrain.

Director Luke Sparke has offered a glimpse into the film’s ambitious scope, stating, “This teaser is just a small taste of what’s to come in this epic. We’ve been in post-production for almost a year, and our amazing artists and team have cooked up something cool!”

Coming Soon

Primitive War is poised to deliver a unique and thrilling cinematic experience, blending the visceral action of a war film with the primal terror of a dinosaur encounter. As the film gears up for its release later this year, dinosaur fans and action enthusiasts can anticipate a wild and unforgettable ride.
