…. Supernatural Thriller "At last, the first trailer for the mysterious Overlord has arrived. The movie, from Paramount Pictures and J.J. Abrams‘ Bad Robot, follows a group of U.S. paratroopers who stumble across a Nazi experimentation of supernatural forces meant to fight the Allies. The film is directed by Julius Avery (Son of a Gun), from a screenplay by Billy Ray (Captain Phillips) and Mark L. Smith (The Revenant). As with any J.J.-produced joint, the trailer comes with a significant amount of "awhaaa?" attached to it. While it doesn't appear to be a new Cloverfield entry—although you really can't be sure until the end credits roll—we're definitely dealing in the supernaturally bizarre here. There are some incredibly macabre body-horror shots that wouldn't look too out of place in John Carpenter‘s The Thing, and poor Pilou Asbæk doesn't seem to be faring well, what with the half-blown off face and all that. (Actually, he's…grinning? Which is both unnerving and dope.)…"

Black troops were still segregated in WWII. They weren't in the airborne. There was a black battalion, but they didn't see combat during WWII. I hate it when movies change history just to be politically correct. |

I don't see this as a "historical" movie at all, even if its setting and context are drawn from history. It's Weird World War II which falls under sci-fi and "alternate history." I find it strange that people would gripe about the historical accuracy and political correctness of black representation in a JJ Abrams movie about the occult and the supernatural. |

There was one black paratrooper battalion (555th PIB). link They were used as smoke jumpers in the Pacific Northwest. Fighting fires caused by Japanese Fu-Go Balloon Bombs. Their work was classified to prevent the Japanese from learning the effects of the bombing. |
