When I first came across this story, I thought that The Bandito Brothers, the production company behind the “real Navy SEALs” movie ‘Act of Valor’, were adapting the video game ‘Prototype’ into a movie, but it appears that no such thing is happening. Instead, one of the Banditos, Andrew Will is writing and directing the company’s first foray into science fiction with a movie called ‘The Prototype’.
Starring Neal McDonough, Joseph Mawle, and Anna Anissimova, ‘The Prototype’ hasn’t been set up at a studio or anything like that yet, but Deadline has “leaked” the teaser trailer for the film, which is supposed to act as a proof of concept piece to entice studios into picking it up. You can check out the teaser below.
If all this work went into the teaser, I can only imagine what they could do for the final product. I like the ‘District 9’/’A.I’ feel of the whole teaser, and I feel like this could be a pretty fun ride in the theaters. Once more information on ‘The Prototype’ is revealed, we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop.
