Joe and Anthony Russo hope the Hollywood clout they got from making Marvel movies will get them a good deal on their producing effort, 'Mosul.'
"Mosul," an Iraq-set war movie starring unknown actors with all dialogue spoken in Arabic, is the first movie from the production company started by"Avengers: Endgame" directors Joe and Anthony Russo.The Russo brothers, executive producer Mohamed Al-Daradji, and writer-director Matthew Michael Carnahan, spoke to Business Insider afterward about the challenges of getting this type of movie to audiences.
"It's incredibly valuable for us to make sure that American audiences see this movie and as many of them see it as possible," Joe Russo told Business Insider."The whole point of the film is that through understanding each other's stories and having empathy for one another, can we heal and build a community? That's the most important part of this film for us as producers.
"Mosul" is an unforgiving look at the constant struggle for survival the SWAT team goes through. When the audience meets up with them, they are on a secret mission and, because of the constant fighting, are heavily depleted in numbers and have little ammo. But the team's driven leader James keeps the men motivated and on task, though ISIS seems to be constantly on their heels trying to take them out. Carnahan throws us right into the madness of war with tight shots of the action.
Executive producer Mohamed Al-Daradji said regardless of how the movie is released, its success will rely on word-of-mouth.
