Summary
Oct. 30 is the theatrical debut for Peter Berg’s WWII football drama “The Mosquito Bowl,” whose first trailer Netflix released ahead of its Nov. 25 streaming launch.
The film follows four top U.S. college football stars who enlist in the Marines after Pearl Harbor and play a storied game before the invasion of Okinawa.
Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgård, Ray Nicholson, Tom Francis, Brent Comer and Pat McAfee lead the cast in the adaptation of Buzz Bissinger’s novel.
The story draws on the real Mosquito Bowl, including first-round pick Tony Butkovich, who joined the Marines instead of the NFL and was later killed in the Pacific.
