The last time Clint Eastwood directed a movie he won an Oscar and pulled the plug on Hillary Swank's life support. Talk about win-win. 2 years later Eastwood is back behind the camera with FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS. It's the story of the men who were forever immortalized in history by raising the flag on Iwo Jima during WW2.
I find it odd that this film is coming out in less than two months but only now is a trailer being released. It looks like it has the makings to be a stirring war film, though the influence of SAVING PRIVATE RYAN feels a bit thick. The fact that Ryan Phillippe has a major role is also disheartening.
The Trailer comes from a FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS fan site. It's only available in Windows Media right now. The film will hit theaters on October 20th.
