“What was it all for…?” Well Go USA has revealed a new trailer for another intense war movie titled Before Dawn, an Australian production made by Australian filmmaker Jordon Prince-Wright. Not to be confused with Werner Herzog’s classic Rescue Dawn (the story of Dieter Dengler). After first opening Down Under in April, this hits VOD in the US in July. Before Dawn is the journey of fictional Western Australia outback kid Jim Collins and his battalion on the Western Front during World War I. He joins up eager to fight, only to discover the brutal realities of trench warfare. Of course. Starring Levi Miller (from A Wrinkle in Time) as Jim, with Travis Jeffery, Myles Pollard, Tim Franklin, Jordan Dulieu, introducing Peter Sullivan, with Ed Oxenbould & Stephen Peacocke. How many of these “war is hell” movies do they need to make? This is really All Quiet on the Western Front or 1917 all over again, but not nearly as good as either of those.
Here’s the official trailer (+ posters) for Jordon Prince-Wright’s film Before Dawn, direct from YouTube:
After leaving his family’s sheep farm in the Australian outback, a young man joins his countrymen on the western front of World War I with hopes of helping expedite an end to the bloody conflict. As war rages on, he is forced to grapple with the brutal realities of trench warfare, including a near-constant battle to keep himself alive—without leaving another man behind. Before Dawn is produced and directed by young Australian filmmaker Jordon Prince-Wright, director of the film The Decadent & Depraved previously, plus many other short films. The screenplay is writtten by Jarrad Russell, based on the story and characters by Jordon Prince-Wright and Jarrad Russell. This initially opened in Australia first in April earlier this year. Well Go USA debuts Before Dawn in select US theaters + on VOD starting July 19th, 2024 this summer.
