First 'Patriots Day' Trailer Relives the Boston Marathon Bombing
As a director, Peter Berg isn’t exactly subtle with his patriotism. Whether it’s with the FBI embedded in the middle east (The Kingdom), a small Texas football town (Friday Night Lights), service members real (Lone Survivor) and fictional (Battleship), or civilian engineers facing a disaster (Deepwater Horizon), his movies proudly wave the American flag. It’s only natural that his next movie is called Patriots Day.
Co-written by Berg, Patriot’s Day is about the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing as seen through the eyes of the first responders and follow-up government teams that orchestrated the manhunt for the two bombing suspects.
Mark Wahlberg, Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, Michelle Monaghan, J.K. Simmons and Khandi Alexander star.
