Peter Berg‘s strength is in his ability to tell a gripping story, and give it a cinematic feel. The intense military drama Lone Survivor and the powerful oil-rig disaster Deepwater Horizon, were all fine examples of dramatized based on true-life stories that captured the world’s attention. Come next year, he will do the same with Patriots Day, a film that chronicles the events that transpired before, during, and after the Boston Marathon bombing that took place in April 2013.

Check out the latest trailer below.

I remember working at my desk on the day that the Boston Marathon bombings occurred, and all anyone could do is look to the internet and social media to see what was happening.

Now we get to at least see a dramatized version of that day in Peter Berg‘s Patriots Day, starring Mark Wahlberg, J.K. Simmons, John Goodman, Kevin Bacon, and Michelle Monaghan. The first trailer for the movie has been released, and you can check it out below.

A teaser trailer has been released for Deepwater Horizon, a movie about the BP oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico. Back in 2010 a blowout, a massive and uncontrollable release of crude oil, occurred on the rig named Deepwater Horizon, which led to a devastating explosion that ignited a fireball that could be seen from 40 miles away, the eventual sinking of the rig, and the loss of eleven lives. After the explosion oil gushed from the earth at a catastrophic rate, creating one of the biggest man-made disasters of all time.

You can watch the first teaser trailer for the movie below.

“Live to tell the story.”

Written and directed by Peter Berg (Battleship, Friday Night Lights), Lone Survivor is based on the 2007 nonfiction book by Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson.

Set during the War in Afghanistan, in the Pech District of Afghanistan’s Kunar Province, the film tells the story of the failed United States Navy SEALs mission Operation Red Wings, in which four SEAL teammates were tasked to capture or kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah (Yousuf Azami).

Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, and Ben Foster star as SEALs Marcus Luttrell, Michael Murphy, Danny Dietz, and Matt ‘Axe’ Axelson, respectively. Their commanding officer, Lieutenant Commander Erik Kristensen, is portrayed by Eric Bana.

Back in June it was revealed that Justin Theroux was set to star in a pilot for a potential new HBO series from LOST co-creator and showrunner Damon Lindelof titled The Leftovers.

Based on the book of the same name from author Tom Perrotta (who also writes the adaptation along with Lindelof), the story takes place in a world after the Rapture has occurred.

Now comes word that HBO has decided to give the show a chance, ordering a full 10-episode first season.
