Stop - Loss..
Tomorrow’s Entertainment received an email today from a producer of the upcoming Paramount film, Stop - Loss.. We were going to post about this in the New Year, but we guess now is a good time than any.. Stop - Loss is a new movie about dealing with the effects of the Iraq war, but already it’s getting people fired up.. A soldier refuses to return to Iraq when the military calls him back to duty.. While the World seems to be getting sick of the ” Iraq War ” series of movies, this one somehow seems more poignant than most..
Decorated Iraq war hero Sgt. Brandon King ( Ryan Philippe ) makes a celebrated return to his small Texas hometown following his tour of duty.. He tries to resume the life he left behind with the help and support of his family and his best friend, Steve Shriver ( Channing Tatum ), who served with him in Iraq.. Along with their other war buddies, Brandon and Steve try to make peace with civilian life.. Then, against Brandon’s will, the Army orders him back to duty in Iraq, which upends his world.. The conflict tests everything he believes in: the bond of family, the loyalty of friendship, the limits of love and the value of honor..
An ex - military officer explained to us how the enlistment works and you actually sign up for a couple extra years from the start for things like this so the military is well within their rights.. We’re sure people will still be in arms about the issue though..
Starring Ryan Phillippe, Abbie Cornish, Channing Tatum, Joseph Gordon - Levitt, Ciaran Hinds, Timothy Olyphant, Victor Rasuk and Rob Brown..
To check out more about Stop - Loss head over to the Official Site.. The site lets you intereact directly with director Kimberly Peirce ( She answers questions that you may have ), and with the soldiers and military wives who have made videos of their lives.. They’re hoping to get the public more connected with the troops, and in the future will be raising a bunch of money for soldiers, and also allowing users to blog directly with stars Ryan Phillippe, Channing Tatum, Joe Gordon Levitt, and Abbie Cornish..
Stop - Loss is Kimberly Peirce’s follow up to her critically acclaimed award - winning film Boys Don’t Cry, which won an Academy Award for star Hilary Swank.. The script was written by Peirce and Mark Richard.. Stop - Loss hits theaters from the 28th March 2008..
