Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is coming to theaters next month November 11. Perfect timing as it’s coming out on Remembrance Day but not so perfect as Kristen Stewart is part of the cast. Maybe I’ll still watch it and she will not be a big part in this movie, although I have a feeling the rest of the casting is wrong for this type of movie. Steve Martin & Chris Tucker? Really?
Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk (2016)
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk follows 19-year-old Billy Lynn as he comes home from Iraq after an intense fight known as the Battle of Al-Ansakar Canal. Billy and his surviving brothers-in-arms are sent on a 'victory tour' which culminates in their squad attending a Thanksgiving Day football game as honored guests. The film will use flashbacks to show the truth of what happened to Billy Lynn in Iraq, a truth that is at odds with the story being told to the public.
