Apple TV has released the trailer for Way of the Warrior Kid, the Apple film starring Chris Pratt as a Navy SEAL who helps his bullied nephew. It is based on Jocko Willink’s novel. Linda Cardellini and Jude Hill also star.
According to the official description, “Middle school has been a nightmare for Marc (Hill), a good kid who’s bullied by his classmates and feels like he’s behind in everything, from academics to P.E. to just making friends. That changes when his injured Uncle Jake (Pratt), a decorated Navy SEAL, comes to spend the summer and recuperate with Marc and his mom, Sarah (Cardellini). To help Marc defend himself, Jake devises an ambitious program he calls Operation Warrior Kid based on his SEAL training. Instead of teaching his nephew how to fight, Jake shows Marc what real courage is, facing down his own demons along the way.”
Pratt stars as Jake, Hill plays Marc, and Cardellini plays Marc’s mother, Sarah. The cast also includes Ava Torres, Levi McConaughey, Darien Sills-Evans, Carl McDowell and Parker Young.
The film is an Apple and Skydance project. McG directs from a screenplay by Will Staples, based on the novel by former Navy SEAL Willink. David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, McG, Mary Viola, Pratt, Ben Everard, Willink and Bruce Wayne Gillies produce. Staples, Steven Bello and Cliff Lanning executive produce.
