5 Days of War 2011
"The First Tragedy of War is Truth"
~Aeschylus
Story A drama set centered around the war between Russia and Georgia, and focused on an American journalist, portrayed by British actor Rupert Friend , who arrives in Georgia after a stint in Iraq to pursue a scoop that there may be an armed conflict in the Caucasus, his cameraman and a Georgian native who become caught in the crossfire.
According to the local production manager, Tamuna Liluashvili, the film will help the international community "know what really happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again."
Cast Val Kilmer, Rupert Friend, Andy Garcia, Heather Graham, Emmanuelle Chriqui and Richard Coyle
FYI Kilmer shared with us in Chicago that he was excited to work with Finnish director, Renny Harlin who has directed blockbuster films such as Die Hard 2 and Cliffhanger. This will be the second film that Harlin and Kilmer have worked together on. In 2004 Harlin directed Kilmer in the thriller, Mindhunters. Kilmer guest starred in an episode of Entourage, HBO's hit series, which stars Chriqui.
5 Days of War is scheduled to be released on DVD and Blu-ray region 1 on November 29, 2011. Region 2 was released in June 2011.
My Two Cents Rupert Friend is a great young actor appearing in such films as Young Elizabeth, Pride & Prejudice and one of my favorites, Cheri.
