Paramount and Skydance previously scheduled The Tomorrow War set for Christmas 2020 when we last talked about it, which was way, way, back in November 2019. The film comes from director Chris McKay based on the screenplay by Zach Dean. It has Chris Pratt in the lead and co-stars Yvonne Strahovski, Betty Gilpin, J.K. Simmons, and Mary Lynn Rajskub.
Things have obviously changed since then and Paramount is now looking to shop the film to streaming services. While they have faith in it as a strong property to launch with, the reality is that once theaters get open again there are several very high profile properties that will dominate and it’s going to crush films like this. At the moment, it looks like Amazon is close to grabbing it at $200 million, after it was screened recently to the major streamers such as Netflix and Hulu among others.
Plot Concept: The story follows a man who is drafted to fight in a future war where the fate of humanity relies on his ability to confront his past.
