Chris Pratt is once again guarding the galaxy in the newest trailer for Amazon’s upcoming sci-fi action outing,The Tomorrow War. The fate of a futuristic war rests upon Pratts' broad shoulders, as he travels through time to battle against extra-terrestrial invaders who threaten humanity’s future.
The deliciously high concept story begins when the world is stunned by the arrival of a group of time travelers who travelled from the year 2051 to deliver an urgent message: Thirty years in the future mankind islosing a global war against a deadly alien species. The only hope for survival is for soldiers and civilians from the present to be transported to the future and join the fight. Among those recruited is high school teacher and family man Dan Forester. Determined to save the world for his young daughter, Dan teams up with a brilliant scientist and his estranged father in a desperate quest to rewrite the fate of the planet.
Directed by The Lego Movie’s Chris McKayin his live-action directorial debut, The Tomorrow War stars the likes of Yvonne Strahovski, J.K. Simmons, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge, Jasmine Mathews, Ryan Kiera Armstrong, and Keith Powers, alongside Chris Pratt. The project is produced by David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, David S. Goyer, Jules Daly and Adam Kolbrenner, and written by Zach Dean, and is sure to delight sci-fi and action fans when it hits the streaming platform in July.
The Tomorrow Warwas originally set for a theatrical release by Paramount Pictures but was scooped up byAmazon Prime, amid the ongoing global situation. The project is a huge investment for Amazon Studios, who purchased distribution rights for a reported $200 million. “The Tomorrow War will be a global event that will surprise and delight our customers around the world,” Jennifer Salke, Head of Amazon Studios, said in a statement when the news of the streaming release was first announced.
