What If Jurassic Park Was A Vietnam War Movie?

Have you ever wondered what would it be if someone decided to make a War Movie from Vietnam that had dinosaurs? If you did, it’s your lucky day today. Even if you did not do it, it is also your luck day because this concept is presented to you in the form of the first trailer of “Primitive War”. It is a very real film that is released this year which is based on a very real book. Check it by yourself above and amaze what is happening.

There is a lot to be discussed here. There are a lot of dinosaur films that are not “Jurassic Park”. All of “The Land Before Time” to “Velocipastor”. But in the field of Entertainment blockbuster, the “Jurassic” franchise has had a grip on the genre for decades. Although the “primitive war” is probably closer to a simulator, it seems damn good, even if the budget is clearly not huge. The special effects are largely impressive. The film has not simplified dinosaurs. The action documents are stingy. In other words, it seems to be the best type of bat movies ** t crazy.

Made by Luke Sparke, he should arrive this summer. Perhaps not by coincidence, Universal also published “Jurassic World Rebirth” in July. He promises to be a year filled with Dino, it seems, with two very different dinosaurs films. The synopsis of “primitive war” reads as follows:

Located in Vietnam in 1968, the primitive war film will follow a research and rescue team known as Vulture Squad sent to an isolated jungle valley to reveal the fate of a missing green beret peloton. While they hunt through the primordial depths of the valley and the mount of the victims, the members of the Vulture team must embrace their wild instincts to survive the horrors with which they face, including the predators of Ultimate Apex, the dinosaurs.

The film is based on the book by author Ethan Pettus “Primitive War: Opiate Undertow”. I first wrote on the film adaptation of “Primitive War” in 2022 when Sparke Films obtained the rights. Often, the rights will be launched and a film will not be really made. In this case, Sparke managed to pass it through the finish line.

“Dinosaurs in the Vietnam War? What should not love in this concept?!” Sparke said that when the project was announced for the first time in 2022. “When I heard of books for the first time, I loved the ideas and concepts that Ethan brought, and we have our cinematographic version in an exciting-horror film.”

The distribution is led by Jeremy Piven (“Entourage”), Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”), Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”), Nick Wechsler (“This is Us”), Anthony Ingruber (“Indiana Jones and the Destiny Destiny”), Aaron Glenane (“Snowpiecer”).

Currently, it is not clear if it will get a theatrical version or if it goes directly to VOD / streaming. Look, if a simulation like “Top Gunner: Danger Zone” has obtained his day in theaters, a dinosaur film which is also a war film of Vietnam deserves the same thing. Hoping, but we will have to see how it shakes in the coming months.

“Primitive War” should arrive later this year, but no specific release date has been set. Stay listening.
