Watch Mark Wahlberg In First Teaser Trailer For Peter Berg’s PATRIOTS DAY

Some events test our courage, Some people inspire our strength, And some moments define our spirit.

Watch the official teaser trailer for PATRIOTS DAY.

Directed by Peter Berg (LONE SURVIVOR, DEEPWATER HORIZON), with a screenplay by Peter Berg, Matt Cook and Joshua Zetumer from a story by Peter Berg, Matt Cook, Paul Tamasy and Eric Johnson, it’s been announced that Academy & Grammy Award-winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (The Social Network, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl) will compose the score for the film.

An account of the Boston Marathon bombing, PATRIOTS DAY is the powerful story of a community’s courage in the face of terror.

In the aftermath of an unspeakable attack, Police Sergeant Tommy Saunders (Mark Wahlberg) joins courageous survivors, first responders and investigators in a race against the clock to hunt down the bombers before they strike again. Weaving together the stories of Special Agent Richard Deslauriers (Kevin Bacon), Police Commissioner Ed Davis (John Goodman), Sergeant Jeffrey Pugliese (J.K. Simmons) and nurse Carol Saunders (Michelle Monaghan) this visceral and unflinching chronicle captures the suspense of one of the most sophisticated manhunts in law enforcement history and celebrates the strength of the people of Boston.

PATRIOTS DAY will open in Boston, New York, and Los Angeles on December 21, 2016. The film will open nationwide on January 13, 2017.

CBS Films and Lionsgate have announced the Patriots Day Charity Challenge, a nonprofit initiative that will empower people across the country to honor select first responders, medical professionals and survivors of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.

Beginning today, charities throughout the greater Boston area are invited to visit the campaign’s CrowdRise page <https://www.crowdrise.com/PatriotsDayApplication> for the details and to sign up and potentially take part.  The Patriots Day Charity Challenge will kick off later this year with a $100,000.00 main prize challenge as well as surprise bonus challenges and will run through the film’s opening weekend. The cast, filmmakers and studios behind the film PATRIOTS DAY will be supporting this effort with both financial contributions and special prizing.

CrowdRise Challenges are innovative fundraising competitions for charitable organizations designed to build capacity, create massive engagement and leverage, and use the power of the crowd to provide meaningful funding for organizations in every sector.  Recent successful challenges include campaigns for Revlon, Allstate and Quicken Loans.

“The courage and stories of the survivors, first responders and other organizations who stepped up that morning and every day since are the inspiration for this film,” said co-writer and director, Peter Berg, who continued. “We are proud to be part of an effort to help give back to these heroes and celebrate the spirit of community that defined Boston’s response to this tragic event.”
