Info in Movie News | Nicholas Galitzine and Bill Skarsgård are officially attached to star in Mosquito Bowl, a World War II drama that marks the first movie under Peter Berg’s renewed creative partnership with Netflix. This collaboration follows the success of Berg’s limited series American Primeval and Painkiller, both of which earned millions of views globally.
According to Deadline, the movie titled Mosquito Bowl is an adaptation of the best-selling non-fiction book The Mosquito Bowl: A Game of Life and Death in World War II by Buzz Bissinger. Involved with the historical event starting from the day of the Pearl Harbor bombing, the plot is about a few elite college football players who leave their games behind when they decide to join the U.S. Marine Corps. Besides getting ready for the horrific battle on the island of Okinawa, the youngsters plan and take part in a quick football match which is later called by the people as the "Mosquito Bowl", and the said match would also be the most tough and touching point in their lives.
The script was devised by Peter Berg and Mark L. Smith, who is famous for The Revenant. The movie is produced by Berg along with Film 44, Brian Grazer, and Alex Gayner, while Ezra Emanuel is the executive producer of the movie.
Galitzine, who rose to prominence through roles in Red, White & Royal Blue and The Idea of You, is quickly becoming a household name. He has been chosen to play the part of He-Man in Amazon's upcoming Masters of the Universe rehash and he is set to take part in Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie as well as the Wings of Freedom animated movie.
Bill Skarsgård is lauded for his great performance in Nosferatu and keeps bringin new diverse and challenging roles on to his acting career. He stars alongside Anthony Hopkins in Locked, and is set to appear in The Death of Robin Hood with Hugh Jackman and return as Pennywise in IT: Welcome to Derry.
For those who haven’t seen American Primeval, this Netflix limited series presents a raw, paint-smeared visual style and centers on the violent, chaotic formation of the American frontier. The story unfolds through the perspectives of hardened settlers, Native Americans, and the outlanders, capturing the harsh realities of survival and conflict. By the scene of the intense drama and the strong scenery, Berg delivers his best mixing of writing with character development and making the action on the highest level of the movie, to carry over seamlessly into Mosquito Bowl, promising a movie just as gripping and emotionally charged.
With a blend of historical depth, emotional storytelling, and a high-caliber cast, Mosquito Bowl is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most anticipated movies in the coming year.
