Amazon has uploaded the official trailer for the drama Last Flag Flying [LFFLY], a spiritual sequel to the 1973 film The Last Detail. Steve Carell [SCARE], Bryan Cranston [BCRAN] and Laurence Fishburne [LFISH] star in the film directed by Richard Linklater [RLINK]. Lionsgate will open Last Flag Flying in limited release beginning November 3rd.
In 2003, 30 years after they served together in the Vietnam War, former Navy Corps medic Richard “Doc” Shepherd (Steve Carell) re-unites with ex-Marines Sal (Bryan Cranston) and Mueller (Laurence Fishburne) on a different type of mission: to bury Doc’s son, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War. Doc decides to forgo burial at Arlington Cemetery and, with the help of his old buddies, takes the casket on a bittersweet trip up the East Coast to his home in suburban New Hampshire. Along the way, Doc, Sal and Mueller reminisce and come to terms with shared experiences of the war that continue to shape their lives. Director Richard Linklater and author Darryl Ponicsan collaborated on the screenplay which follows the trio as they wrestle with the pangs of war both past and present.
