One of America's most sought-after actors, Garrett Hedlund (Troy, TRON: Legacy, Pan) now stars as Dime in Oscar-winner Ang Lee's emotionally charged war film, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (opening Nov. 9 in Philippine cinemas).
Based on the acclaimed bestselling novel by Ben Fountain, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour. Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions.
