Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland reunite for the war movie Warfare, and here’s the trailer for the 2025 film.
Ever since he wrote the screenplays for films like The Beach and 28 Days Later, Alex Garland has buit up one of the most eclectic filmographies of any filmmaker working today, from his directorial debut, Ex Machina, to surreal thriller Men and this year’s brutal, intense Civil War.
The military advisor on that film was Iraq War veteran Ray Mendoza, who has reunited with Garland to co-direct Warfare.
The synopsis for the new film reads as follows:
Based on ex-Navy Seal Ray Mendoza’s real-life experiences as a soldier during the Iraq War. Mendoza joined the Navy in 1997 and served for over 16 years as a Member of SEAL Team 5 and a Land Warfare Training Detachment and BUD/s instructor. He was awarded a Silver Star ‘for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as Lead Communicator, Naval Special Warfare Task Unit-Ramadi, in direct support of Operation Iraqi Freedom on November 19, 2006.
