The Future Drafts The Present in Amazon’s The Tomorrow War (Trailer)

Originally supposed to hit theaters, Amazon purchased the rights to The Tomorrow War from Paramount and the movie will arrive as a Prime-exclusive just in time for the July 4th holiday weekend.  Chris Pratt stars as a former soldier and current teacher Dan Forester.  Dan and the rest of the world are shocked when time travelers from the future, 2051 to be precise, appear and deliver a chilling message; humanity is losing a war with an alien force and they need to draft soldiers from the present to bolster their ranks and try to fight back. It’s basically a reverse Terminator mixed with some Edge of Tomorrow.  JK Simmons, Yvonne Strahovski, Betty Gilpin, Sam Richardson, Edwin Hodge, Keith Powers, Theo Von, and Mary Lynn Rajskub co-star, and the movie is directed by Chris McKay, who is making his live-action debut after directing movies like The LEGO Batman Movie.  The movie hits Prime Video on July 2nd and you can check out the trailer below
