official trailer for Last Flag Flying
Filmmaker Richard Linklater has long tried to adapt the 2005 novel Last Flag Flying by Darryl Ponicsan. The film will finally see its world premiere on September 28th, 2017 to open the New York Film Festival.
In 2003, 30 years after they served together in the Vietnam War, former Navy Corps medic Richard “Doc” Shepherd (Steve Carell) re-unites with ex-Marines Sal (Bryan Cranston) and Mueller (Laurence Fishburne) on a different type of mission: to bury Doc’s son, a young
Marine killed in the Iraq War. Doc decides to forgo burial at Arlington Cemetery and, with the help of his old buddies, takes the casket on a bittersweet trip up the East Coast to his home in suburban New Hampshire. Along the way, Doc, Sal and Mueller reminisce and come to terms with shared experiences of the war that continue to shape their lives. Director Richard Linklater and author Darryl Ponicsan collaborated on the screenplay which follows the trio as they wrestle with the pangs of war both past and present. Last Flag Flying will see a limited release from Lionsgate and Amazon Studios on November 3rd.
