Noah Is Going To War

I posted about Ex Machina (and this weekend's Civil War) director Alex Garland's next movie Warfare back in February when Charles Melton was cast in it, but since then there has been an onslaught of pretty young things cast in the movie and today's news that Noah Centineo is one of them finally tipped me into must-post-again territory. (As did stumbling upon these photos of Noah from 2019 which I don't believe I've ever seen much less posted before.) I didn't have a heap of info on the movie before but when Reservation Dogs actor D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai was cast this load of information was dropped:

"Woon-A-Tai will portray Ray Mendoza, sources close to production tell Deadline. Mendoza joined the Navy in 1997 and served for over 16 years as a Member of Seal Team 5 and a Land Warfare Training Detachment and BUD/s instructor. He was awarded a Silver Star “for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as Lead Communicator, Naval Special Warfare Task Unit-Ramadi, in direct support of Operation Iraqi Freedom on November 19, 2006,” according to Military Times.   

Warfare is the second collaboration for Garland and Mendoza, who served as the military supervisor for Garland’s latest film Civil War set for release on April 12. The pair wrote and will co-direct the film. Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich of DNA and Peter Rice will produce. A24 will handle the global release of the film."

But back to the most important issue of this movie's hot cast -- besides Melton, Centineo, and Woon-A-Tai, the cast already has Cosmo Jarvis (our boy from Lady Macbeth and the currently airing Shogun series), Joseph Quinn (from Stranger Things and the future Johnny Storm), Kit Connor (the hottie from Heartbreaker), Will Poulter (he of the blown up MCU muscles), and Finn Bennett, last seen cleaning up blood in his tighty-whities on the most recent season of True Detective. 

Now that's a cast! And I've no doubt more will be cast -- so it goes with these military movies. War is good for one thing and that thing is hot casts of war movies. We'll obviously be keeping our eye on this one -- and stay tuned for our thoughts on Civil War, dropping soon-ish. Now hit the jump for two more of these vintage (is five years old "vintage"?) Noah snaps...
