Japanese Trailer For Clint Eastwood's FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS / RED SUN, BLACK SAND Online!!


Merrick here...


One trailer...for two Clint Eastwood directed/Steven Spielberg produced World War II films...has been posted by Warner Bros' Japanese website.

The trailer encompasses THE FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS and RED SUN, BLACK SAND -- both of which will release later this year.

Paul Haggis/William Broyles Jr. scripted FLAGS (based on the book by James Bradley and Ron Powers), while Iris Yamashita wrote RED SUN based on Haggis' story.

The two movies tell the story of The Battle of Iwo Jima back in World War II; FLAGS from an American perspective and RED SUN from the Japanese perspective. This trailer suggests a size of project grander than any Eastwood undertaking I can recall (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here), as well as a decidedly un-Eastwoodian visual style (heavily diluted colors, often bordering on black and white).

BATMAN fans should note that Ken Watanabe will star in RED SUN. He was Ra's al Ghul in BATMAN BEGINS. I particularly loved his work in LAST SAMURAI -- its nice to see him getting some high-profile parts.


CLICK HERE TO JUMP TO THE TRAILER!!!


FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS will be released in America and Japan this October. RED SUN, BLACK SAND will arrive in both countries this December.
