ComingSoon Editor-in-Chief Tyler Treese spoke to Murder Company director Shane Dax Taylor about the new World War II movie. Taking place during D-Day,stars William Moseley, Pooch Hall, Gilles Marini, Joe Anderson, and Kelsey Grammer. Maverick Film & Complex Corp will release the movie in select theaters, digital, and on demand on July 5, 2024.

Oh, it was huge. Fortunately, Pooch Hall and Jilon VanOver, some of these guys I’ve known 20 years, so to bring them together, and it was important to me to… I mean, I was actively involved, other than Kelsey, I worked to get all these actors on board because I knew they would mesh well together, not only fantastic actors, but there’s no bad apples, so to speak. I’ve been on films where you just can’t wait to get through, get an actor off set.

It was amazing, man. I probably looked at over a hundred actors for that role, and people submitted multiple times. It was important to me to have a German come in and not someone pretending to be. With the accent but also the intensity, you could just see it in his eyes. Once he sent in a tape, and then once we talked, it was like, man, the intensity just kinda went through the screen, and it really holds up on camera as well.

Most of the movies that you’ve directed in the past, you also wrote. So how different was it directing somebody else’s script this time around? But yes, it was kind of my vision of this valley then coming from all sides and getting surrounded and just explaining to these guys, like, okay, we are going to hit them from all sides, but let’s make it look like it’s not some over here, and then some over here. We’re not gonna green screen it. When they’re getting attacked, they’re getting all attacked at the same time. Like I said, we had 150 actors and it really filled up the screen for sure.
