Primitive War is shaping up to be a visceral mash-up of Kong: Skull Island and The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and that’s sure to attract a number of action and sci-fi enthusiasts.

The gritty R-rated action-horror, based on Ethan Pettus’s cult-favorite novel, will debut in select theaters from August 21–25, 2025, via Fathom Entertainment.

The film brings a grimy, blood-soaked, B-movie energy to the dinosaur genre, set against the chaotic backdrop of the Vietnam War.

Directed by Luke Sparke, Primitive War follows an elite military squad on a search-and-rescue mission gone horribly wrong. Dropped into enemy territory in 1968, “Vulture Squad” quickly finds itself stalked by monstrous prehistoric creatures, including a T-rex, Utahraptors, and more.

Speaking to the crowd at Sdcc, Sparke stated [via ScreenRant], "I got in touch with the author and pitched him what I’d love to do… we shopped it around Hollywood… ‘you’re not Steven Spielberg, you can’t do dinosaurs…...

"My mission is to get my men home, not fight dinosaurs." Sparke Films & Rialto Distribution have debuted the full official trailer for a wild & crazy action thriller titled Primitive War, which is both a Vietnam War movie and a dinosaur movie all-in-one. "This ain't no walk in the park." This actually looks Way bigger and better than it might seem, definitely not a B-movie, despite the possibility. Set in Vietnam in 1968. A recon unit known as Vulture Squad is sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. They soon discover they are not alone. There are dinosaurs of all kinds hiding out in this primordial valley. And it will take all they've got for them to make it out of there without becoming lunch. This dino action movie's cast has Ryan Kwanten, Jeremy Piven, Anthony Ingruber, Aaron Glenane, Tricia Helfer, Nick Wechsler,...

If you thought the Jurassic World franchise was the only way to get your dinosaur fill on the big screen, well, that’s kind of been true for the most part over the years. But there are exceptions like the Adam Driver-starring 65 back in 2023, as well as the upcoming Primitive War.

The official synopsis: “Vietnam. 1968. A search and rescue team known as Vulture Squad is sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. As they hunt through the primordial depths of the valley, they discover ancient horrors that not only threaten to unravel their minds, but to end their lives as well.

"There is something going on in that valley..." Sparke Films & Rialto Distribution have revealed a first look teaser trailer for an intense action thriller titled Primitive War, which is both a Vietnam War movie and a dinosaur movie all-in-one. Rock on!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if someone decided to make a Vietnam War movie that had dinosaurs in it? If you have, today is your lucky day. Even if you haven't, today is also your lucky day because this concept is being introduced to you in the form of the first teaser trailer for "Primitive War." This is a very real movie that is coming out this year that is based on a very real book. Check it out for yourself above and marvel at what's coming.

There's a lot to discuss here. There are lots of dinosaur movies that aren't "Jurassic Park." Everything from "The Land Before Time" to "The VelociPastor." But in the realm of blockbuster entertainment, the "Jurassic" franchise has had a stranglehold on the genre for decades. While "Primitive War" is probably closer to a mockbuster, it does look pretty darn good,...

Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Nick Wechsler (The Boys), Anthony Ingruber (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Aaron Glenane (Danger Close), Carlos Sanson Jr (Legacies), Ana Thu Nguyen (Mortal Kombat 2), Adolphus Waylee (Nautilus), Richard Brancatisano (The Messenger), Marcus Johnson (Talk to Me), and Jake Ryan star in writer/director Luke Sparke’s upcoming sci-fi horror film Primitive War – and while we don’t have a release date for this one yet, a trailer has just dropped online! You can check it out in the embed above.

An adaptation of Ethan Pettus’ sci-fi military book, Primitive War is set during the Vietnam War and features American soldiers facing off with dinosaurs!

They call it “high concept.” In the upcoming Primitive War, soldiers in Vietnam do battle with prehistoric dinosaurs, and the teaser trailer for the action/horror/sci-fi movie has arrived.

Debuted by THR this morning, watch the teaser trailer for Primitive War below! “This ain’t no walk in the park,” the trailer promises, taking a shot at Jurassic Park in the process.

On that note, it’s awesome to see filmmakers outside the Jurassic franchise playing with dinosaurs, as that’s something we haven’t seen enough of over the years. The high concept approach to the material here reminds us a bit of the 2023 movie 65, which saw Adam Driver going up against dinosaurs. And it looks like Primitive War has enough of a budget behind it to make the dinosaur action look pretty damn good, which gives us hope for this one.

Expect Primitive War to stomp...

Movie fans might have a Jurassic Park-adjacent blockbuster franchise coming up from the land down under. The Australian action horror sci-fi movie Primitive War has just received an in-depth update that is sure to excite fans of the franchise created by author Ethan Pettus. The film by co-writer and director Luke Sparkle best known for Occupation Rainfall and Bring Him To Me adapted Pettus' sci-fi military novel about soldiers in the Vietnam War finding another unexpected opponent in the jungle. And it's set to hit theaters in 2025.

Produced by Carmel Imrie and Carly Sparke, executive producers Geoff Imrie and Luke Sparke, and co-producer Alex Becconsall, the first look featurette gives audiences a peek into how the film was made. Actors and crew members glistening with sweat give their takes on the production of the film, which was shot on-location with no blue or green screen in sight, according to the new promotional trailer.

Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Jeremy Piven (Entourage), Nick Wechsler (The Boys), Anthony Ingruber (Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny), Aaron Glenane (Danger Close), Carlos Sanson Jr (Legacies), Ana Thu Nguyen (Mortal Kombat 2), Adolphus Waylee (Nautilus), Richard Brancatisano (The Messenger), Marcus Johnson (Talk to Me), and Jake Ryan star in writer/director Luke Sparke’s upcoming sci-fi horror film Primitive War – and while we don’t have a release date for this one just yet, a featurette has just arrived online to give us a behind-the-scenes look at the making of it.

And while Spielberg’s Jurassic Park was not a horror movie, the fact that you are isolated on an island with a bunch of dinosaurs definitely sounds scary. In light of that, we are glad to inform you – if you are a fan of horror movies and dinosaurs – that a new horror movie focused on humans battling dinosaurs is coming soon.

Primitive War might not be a title you’ve heard of or a title that will sweep the box office, but the premise certainly seems interesting and we are certain that horror fans will like the movie, which is coming out next year.

The movie’s first teaser trailer has just been released, and that is what actually inspired this report, in which you are going to see the trailer, as well as get all the necessary information about the movie and its cast and crew. So, if you’re interested,...

All they know is a Green Beret platoon has gone missing in the area, and they’ve been sent to investigate and possibly retrieve them. What they don’t expect, but who possibly could…was that this was the region of 1968 Vietnam that had dinosaurs in it. Well, no wonder we lost.

Spoiler Warning: This Story Contains Discussion Of Major Storylines And Scenes In “Interceptor.”

First-time director Matthew Reilly admits he never anticipated his feature film debut “Interceptor” to do as well as it has since its release on Netflix earlier this month. The movie, which follows a U.S. Army captain (Elsa Pataky) who must prevent a nuclear missile attack forged by domestic terrorists in cahoots with Russians, climbed to No. 1 on the streamer’s top 10 list with about 50 million hours viewed.

“It’s blown me away,” Reilly told me on Friday morning when I caught up with over Zoom. “I was hoping to sneak into the top 10 on Netflix, but coming in at number one everywhere?”

“I don’t think anybody was expecting it to take the world by storm,” he continued before laughing. “I’m just as confused as everybody else.”

Produced by Pataky’s husband Chris Hemsworth, Reilly co-wrote...

Stuart Beattie, whose credits as a writer include working on Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra and who directed the likes of Tomorrow, When the War Began and I, Frankenstein, teams up with first-time feature director Matthew Reilly for Interceptor, a very timely piece of action cinema – one that puts the Russians firmly back on the filmic map as The bad guys of the movies, along with their co-conspiring American dissident buddies (aka Trump supporters looking to “make America great again”).

The film follows Captain JJ Collins (Elsa Pataky), who’s called back to active duty after she is wrongfully drummed out of her dream job at the Pentagon. When a simultaneous coordinated attack then threatens the base itself,...

Production has begun in Greater Sydney on “Christmess,” a light-hearted drama written and directed by Heath Davis. It stars musician and vocalist Hannah Joy of alternative indie rock band Middle Kids in her feature film debut.

The film also stars Steve Le Marquand (“Last Train to Freo”), Darren Gilshenan (“No Activity”) and Aaron Glenane. Le Marquand plays the role of a once famous actor who has been reduced by alcohol addiction to performing as Santa Claus in a mall. After accidentally meeting his estranged daughter (Nicole Pastor), he seeks help from his sponsor (Gilshenan) and a sharp-tongued musician in recovery (Joy) in order to win his daughter’s forgiveness in time for the festive season.

“Christmess” is produced by Daniel Fenech, Cindy Pritchard and Matthew McCracken. It is financed through crowd funding and the support of unnamed partners. Distribution will be handled by Bonsai Films.

400 years from now you have to ask… Are we worth saving?

It still amazes me to this day that Jason Stackhouse is none other than lifeguard Vinnie from Home and Away. I mean back on that show he was the chubby lovable idiot now he is ripped and a bloody great actor to boot. So apart from utterly useless trivia about who an actor played years back, I am also a bit of a sci-fi nerd and when Chronical: 2067 (or just 2067 outside the UK) crossed my table and was billed as a timey-wimey, post-apocalyptic sci-fi with that young lad from The Road who is all grown up now and True Blood’s Jason Stackhouse (aka actor Ryan Kwanten). Well that was me interested jumping in with both feet. Question is, was the...

(L-r) Andy McPhee, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Ryan Kwanten on the ‘2067’ set. (Photo credit: Matt Byrne).

Released by AMC Networks’ Rlje Films on-demand and on 15 screens in the US last weekend, Seth Larney’s 2067 ranks in fourth spot on the US iTunes digital chart.

The sci-fi mystery thriller set on an Earth ravaged by climate change, where humanity is forced to live on artificial oxygen, trails the top title, Tate Taylor’s sci-fi thriller Ava, followed by British sci-fi drama Archive and The Secret: Dare to Dream.

The Australian/New Zealand distributor Umbrella Entertainment is yet to set a release date which will follow the Adelaide Film Festival premiere on the October 14 opening night.

Produced by Arcadia’s Lisa Shaunessy, Futurism Studios’ Jason Taylor and Kate Croser for Kojo Entertainment, the film stars Kodi Smit-McPhee, Ryan Kwanten, Deborah Mailman, Aaron Glenane, Damian Walshe-Howling and Leeanna Walsman.

Smit-McPhee plays Ethan Whyte,...

By now the term “dystopian future” almost seems redundant, at least at the movies — when was the last time you saw a film in which the future wasn’t dystopian? Audiences can swan-dive down that familiar sinkhole once again in “2067,” an Australian sci-fi adventure that’s the first directorial feature from Seth Larney, whose visual-effects background is evidenced in a good-looking production that gets a lot out of its design aspects for the buck.

In the realms of storytelling and character interest, however, this stock “can our protagonist save the planet that humanity already wrecked?” tale proves less resourceful, bogging down in convoluted, low-boil intrigue despite taking place in both the titular year and 25th century. Though Larner gets sole screenplay credit, publicity materials note involvement of at least four other writers. The result is a movie that seems unaware just how generic the should-be-distinguishing details of its earnest eco-cautionary tale have turned out.

2067 is a cerebral sci-fi thriller from Australian writer/director Seth Larney. The film is set in a dystopian future where climate change has eradicated all plant life. Humans survive by breathing synthetic oxygen, but at a terrible cost. The artificial air causes a "sickness" that is killing the remaining population. 2067's detailed plot has several intriguing mysteries at its core. They unfurl slowly while the primary character faces an existential crisis. It's an interesting journey, but saddled with melodrama. 2067 gets bogged down and weepy at critical junctures.

Kodi Smit-McPhee stars as Ethan Whyte, a technician that works underground on the last city's unstable nuclear reactor. He volunteers for as many shifts as possible. His beloved wife (Sana'a Shaik) is dying from the "sickness." She needs the highest quality oxygen to survive. Ethan's father, Richard Whyte (Aaron Glenane), was a renowned scientist who predicted the coming apocalypse. He died when Ethan was a child,...

Aaron Glenane and Liv Hewson.

Being in lockdown has prompted different responses from actors Aaron Glenane and Liv Hewson.

Glenane, who came back to Sydney from Los Angeles with his fiance and young child, admits he was “going nuts” so he had the idea of staging a live reading of Lyle Kessler’s play Orphans, which he performed at the Old Fitz Theatre five years ago.

He put the idea to Red Line Productions co-founder Andrew Henry, who reached out to Kessler. In turn Kessler approached Alec Baldwin, who starred in the Broadway production in 2013, the story of two orphaned brothers living in a decrepit North Philadelphia house.

The result was the first live streamed reading of the play, featuring Baldwin, Glenane and Henry, with stage directions and descriptions read by lifetime member of the Actors Studio Judy Jerome, on April 11/12.

Hewson is happy to be in South Korea working...

"There's a reason the call it the most dangerous sport on Earth." Saban Films has debuted one more official trailer for the inspiring true story Ride Like a Girl. We already posted two Australian trailers for this film last year, for its Australian release in the fall. This finally will open in this Us this March. The film tells the true story of Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup - horse-racing's toughest two-mile race - in 2015. Teresa Palmer stars as Michelle, also joined by Sam Neill, Sullivan Stapleton, Stevie Payne (as himself), Genevieve Morris, Sophia Forrest, Henry Nixon, Aaron Glenane, and Zara Zoe. This definitely does seem like it's worth catching up with when it releases in the Us next month.

Mitzi Ruhlmann.

Mitzi Ruhlmann was five years old when she saw Phillip Noyce’s Stolen Generation drama Rabbit-Proof Fence, perhaps not an ideal experience for someone so young, but it had a profound impact.

From that moment on she was determined to become an actor, not a far-fetched ambition for a girl who spent a lot of time on film and TV sets watching her dad, cinematographer Danny Ruhlmann, at work.

(Ruhlmann Senior’s credits include the features The Nugget, The Night We Called It a Day and Little Fish and, most recently, the Netflix series Messiah, created by Aussie Michael Petroni and co-directed by Kate Woods, and Jupiter’s Legacy.)

Last month the 21-year-old came home after seven months in La auditioning for numerous roles. She’ll go back in February for pilot season.

Since she was 12 she has had a manager in the Us, Jennifer Gabler Rawlings, whom she...

We have an exclusive clip from Saban's forthcoming Danger Close. The movie stars Travis Fimmel and Luke Bracey. Directed by Kriv Stenders, the movie is the first Australian project to take on the Vietnam War in 40 years, following 1979's The Odd Angry Shot. The movie hits select theaters this week and will also be On Demand. From the looks of things, Stenders let the acting take over the movie and kept the CGI to a minimum, giving it a bare bones and realistic feel.

In Danger Close, Major Harry Smith (Travis Fimmel) and his company of 108 young and inexperienced Australian and New Zealand soldiers are fighting for their lives in the 1966 Battle of Long Tan. With 2,500 battle-hardened Viet Cong soldiers closing in, their ammunition running out and casualties mounting, each man searches for the strength to triumph over an uncertain future with honor, decency and courage. The clip shows just...
