Fathom Entertainment has announced that it will bring director Luke Sparke’s latest film, “Primitive War,” to theaters nationwide on August 21, 2025.
Featuring Ryan Kwanten (“True Blood”), Tricia Helfer (“Battlestar Galactica”), Nick Wechsler (“The Boys”), and Jeremy Piven (“Entourage”), “Primitive War” is based on the popular sci-fi novel by Ethan Pettus and takes place during the Vietnam War in 1968. A search and rescue team known as “Vulture Squad” is sent to an isolated jungle valley to uncover the fate of a missing Green Beret platoon. As they hunt through the primordial depths of the valley, they discover ancient horrors that not only threaten to unravel their minds but also to end their lives. Dinosaurs have somehow been unleashed, and when the casualties mount, the members of “Vulture Squad” must abandon their human nature and give in to their savage instincts in order to survive.
“Fans of the ‘Primitive War’ novel and summer moviegoers looking to be entertained with a fresh new action thriller will flock to the big screen adaptation ‘Primitive War’,” said Ray Nutt, Chief Executive Officer for Fathom Entertainment “The combination of action, wartime survival, and—of course—dinosaurs in an original feature film make for a great sleeper entrant to the summer 2025 box office slate.”
Tickets for “Primitive War” are now available at Fathom Entertainment and participating theatre box offices. The film will also be at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25.
