Trailer for the new film, "Dalton Trumbo's JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN," starring Ben McKenzie, directed by Rowan Joseph, and produced by Greenwood Hill Productions. In select cities this fall. One of the greatest and most memorable anti-war novels of all time, JOHNNY GOT HIS GUN, returns to the big screen in a remarkably intimate, emotionally powerful, visually unique adaptation. Presented “live on stage, on film,” the movie is a cinematic version of the one-person 1982 Off-Broadway play, which was faithfully adapted by playwright Bradley Rand Smith in the same “stream of consciousness” style utilized by legendary writer Dalton Trumbo in his 1939 National Book Award-winning best seller. The film takes place in the mind of an American soldier hit by an artillery shell on the last day of WWI; a quadruple amputee who has also lost his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. Regaining consciousness, Joe Bonham (Ben McKenzie) discovers that while his brain is healthy and able to reason, the rest of his body is irreparably shattered, leaving him trapped forever within the confines of his own imagination. He struggles to find some way to communicate with the outside world. Tapping his head in Morse code, he breaks through and pleads with his caretakers to be put on display as a living example of the cost of war. The film explores the interplay between science, medicine, religion, and politics.
