Primitive War Trailer Reveals Jurassic Park Twist On The Vietnam War Genre With Dinosaurs Hunting Soldiers

Primitive War gets a new trailer, unveiling a Vietnam War movie with a surprising Jurassic Park twist. Directed, produced, co-written, and edited by Luke Sparke, the upcoming film is based on a 2017 Ethan Pettus novel of the same name. The Primitive War book takes place in Vietnam in 1968, following Vulture Squad as they are dispatched into the jungle to find out what happened to an elite platoon of Green Berets who went missing. The film stars Nick Wechsler, Jeremy Piven, Ryan Kwanten, Lincoln Lewis, Jake Ryan, and Tricia Helfer, among others.

THR now releases the first official trailer for Primitive War, teasing the sci-fi horror action that is to come after a squad of American soldiers encounter dinosaurs in the jungles of Vietnam. The trailer introduces the Green Berets that went missing and Piven's character, who appears to be a government official organizing the investigation into their disappearance.

Several types of dinosaurs are included in the footage hunting Vulture Squad, including a T-Rex chasing soldiers through the jungle, as well as three velociraptors sporting an accurate feathery design. THR reveals that the movie will release sometime this summer. Check it out below:

An official logline accompanies the trailer release, providing more details on the movie's story and dinosaur threat:

“Set in Vietnam in 1968, the Primitive War movie will follow a search and rescue team known as Vulture Squad sent to an isolated jungle valley to reveal the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. As they hunt through the primordial depths of the valley and the casualties mount, the Vulture Squad members must embrace their savage instincts to survive the horrors they face, including the ultimate Apex predators, dinosaurs.”
