"To whom were you broadcasting through that radio last night?" Decal Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for "Fog of War," a mesmerizing World War II mystery thriller helmed by filmmaker Michael Day. Set for a springtime release, this film promises to unravel the enigmatic threads of identity for all eager viewers.
In the throes of World War II, an injured American pilot named Gene, portrayed by Jake Abel, and his OSS agent fiancée Penny, essayed by Brianna Hildebrand, seek refuge at a secluded manor in Massachusetts, visiting Penny's extended family. Unbeknownst to all, Penny has enrolled Gene in a covert mission to spy on the family and the surrounding locale.
As tensions escalate, the couple finds themselves ensnared in a chilling revelation: a Nazi spy lurks among them, armed with stolen documents destined for Germany. With the fate of the war hanging by a thread, Gene and Penny navigate a labyrinth of mistrust and peril, determined to expose the spy’s true identity. The stellar cast also includes Geza Rohrig, Mira Sorvino, and John Cusack, yet despite its intriguing premise, "Fog of War" risks resembling a direct-to-video endeavor.
"The most potent weapon is deception," whispers the specter of war. As the Allies prepare for the D-Day invasion, Gene and Penny confront danger at every turn, their lives intertwined with the destinies of countless others. Michael Day, whose directorial credits include the film "Clawfoot" (2023) and numerous acclaimed short films, brings a keen eye to this tale of espionage and suspense.
The screenplay, penned by Luke Langsdale, unfolds with the precision of a well-orchestrated operation, produced by Jordan Beckerman, Michael Day, Scott Levenson, and Jordan Yale Levine under the banner of Yale Productions. Decal Releasing aims to premiere "Fog of War" in theaters in the spring of 2025 – stay tuned for further updates.
