Trailer Bulletin: Clint Eastwood's Iwo Jima Epics

by | August 16, 2006 | Comments

It’s been well-reported that Clint Eastwood has a pair of WWII movies on the way. The first will be "Flags of Our Fathers" and the second will be "Red Sun, Black Sand." And now you can check out a "combo trailer" for both films…

Thanks to ComingSoon.net for the report: "Flags of Our Fathers" chronicles the battle of Iwo Jima and the fates of the flag raisers and some of their brothers in Easy Company. Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford, Adam Beach, Paul Walker, Jamie Bell, Barry Pepper and John Benjamin Hickey star.

"Red Sun, Black Sand" (aka "Letters From Iwo Jima" in Japan) revolves around the real-life Japanese General Tadamichi Kuribayashi, played by Ken Watanabe, who battled American troops for 40 days on the small island of Iwo Jima.

"Flags" will be released on October 20 in North America."
