The
Tomorrow
War
starring
Chris
Pratt,
JK
Simmons
and
Betty
Gilpin
is
all
set
to
release
on
Amazon
Prime
Video
on
July
2,
2021.
Filmmaker
Chris
McKay
spoke
exclusively
to
Filmibeat
about
the
much
awaited
release
and
its
filming
process.
Apart
from
Chris
McKay,
the
film
is
also
making
buzz
thanks
to
cinematographer
Larry
Fong's
involvement.
Larry
Fong,
known
for
iconic
films
like
Sucker
Punch,
Now
You
See
Me,
Watchmen,
Kong:
Skull
Island,
300,
Batman
vs.
Superman
and
more,
is
expected
to
bring
something
new
to
the
sci-fi
film.
Talking
about
working
with
Fong,
McKay
said,
"Larry
Fong
is
amazing." He
added,
"Not
only
does
he
have
the
best
eye
in
the
business,
he's
just
a
really
fun
guy
to
have
around
on
set.
As
a
director,
you
end
up
collaborating
with
a
lot
of
different
people
on
a
film,
and
Larry
was
one
of
my
favourites
on
The
Tomorrow
War."
Calling
the
cinematographer
a
magician,
McKay
added,
"He
creates
jaw-dropping
images,
and
he
goes
about
everything
so
humbly!
He's
a
brilliant
artist...and
also
strangely
a
really,
really
great
magician!
This
is
not
a
joke.
In
between
setups
he'd
perform
really
clever
magic
tricks!"
McKay
said
despite
the
futuristic
premise
of
the
story,
he
wanted
The
Tomorrow
War
to
feel
as
real
as
possible
rather
than
hyper-stylised.
He
also
chose
to
shoot
on
location
as
much
as
they
could
and
limit
the
amount
of
green
screen
used.
However,
he
said
it
was
possible
with
Fong's
support.
"Larry
knew
exactly
how
to
make
things
feel
real
and
tactile
by
bringing
out
the
natural
colours
of
the
world
we
created.
He
made
everything
feel
lived-in,
which
was
exactly
what
I
was
looking
for,"
the
director
told
Filmibeat.
The
Tomorrow
War
follows
Dan
Forester
(played
by
Chris
Pratt)
who
joins
the
army
of
the
future
to
fight
in
a
war
30
years
from
now
that
will
wipe
out
humanity.
Dan
who
is
determined
to
save
the
world
for
his
daughter,
teams
up
with
a
brilliant
scientist
and
his
estranged
father
to
rewrite
the
planet's
fate.
