A Very Powerful Trailer For Berg's "Lone Survivor" Drops

Here's a peek for Peter Berg's real life war drama "Lone Survivor"

Based on the non-fiction book by Marcus Luttrell, which recounts a mission his Seal team undertook to kill a terrorist leader, although they were ambushed in the Hindu Kush mountains of Afganistan and struggled to stay alive--Lutrell was the only one to come out alive

Berg has wanted to direct the film for years, even placing himself among a Navy SEAL Team in Iraq for a month and writing the screenplay based on Lutrell's account. Universal Pictures promised him a deal where he could make this film, as long as he made Battleship--also starring Taylor Kitsch --That and the fact Osama Bin Laden, was killed by U.S. Forces in Pakistan during a firefight put the pic on the front burner.

Mark WahlbergAlexander Ludwig ("The Hunger Games")  Emile Hirsch Eric Bana and Ben Foster also star. Wahlberg will play Luttrell.

Berg, Wahlberg, Sarah Aubrey, Akiva Goldsman, Barry Spikings, Randall Emmett and George Furla produced the film.

The film starts in limited release on December 27th 2013--going wider January 10th 2014
