LOS ANGELES, May 21 — Check out the first trailer for Rob Reiner’s upcoming film Shock and Awe that stars Woody Harrelson and James Marsden.
The film follows two journalists played by Harrelson and Marsden who exposed how the Bush administration had decided to go to war with Iraq and was looking for justification by selling the idea that it was harbouring weapons of mass destruction.
The synopsis of the film reads: “The film is based on the true events of Knight Ridder journalists who were the only ones who ‘got it right’ in the lead-up to the 2003 Iraq War when they questioned the true nature of the Bush White House’s justification for the conflict.”
The film also stars Tommy Lee Jones, Jessica Biel, Milla Jovovich, Luke Tennie and Richard Schiff.
Shock and Awe is set for release on July 13. Watch the trailer below:
