"Primitive War" movie - weird Vietnam war

[3Fingers2]

Thought it might interest a few on here that they are releasing a primitive war movie in 2025 , A vulture squad goes to a remote valley to look for a missing green beret patrol.
Dinosaurs in Vietnam war would make hell of a game .

It might be helpful to know who ‘they’ are. Do you have a link to your information source?

Also, what exactly is a primitive war movie? I have never heard that term before. Thanks.

It’s a movie regarding the primitive war book series

I had not heard of this series. The synopsis appears interesting and I agree that the premise could form the basis of a game. I still know nothing about the film, however. Who exactly is making it, i.e. a studio or independent producer? This could make a world of difference, as will the budget.

Well, here’s the IMDB page:

At least now we know who ‘they’ are, even if they’re unknowns.

I’m now properly intrigued. YouTube has a ‘making of’ video and also a couple of trailers, though these are for a comic adaptation of the novel that was funded - or appears to have been - via Indiegogo, but it appears only one issue has been produced thus far, and only issued to backers in print form. However, it can be read online for free:

Edit: Having read it, this is the ‘pitch issue’ of ten pages. The Indiegogo campaign was for Issue 1, with 28 pages. I don’t know whether these included the ten of the pitch issue.

Well that sounds pretty dire… Vulture Squad in the Father Vulture helicopter go to Vulture Valley.

I dunno. You can never have enough vultures.

[Cholmondely Percival IV]

Vulture Valley sounds like a retirement home development, albeit one in serious need of rebranding.

Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and Conan-Doyle's "Lost World" ripped off and bashed into a Rambo-esque mess? Sounds awful but I suppose it could work in a hilarious 'straight-to-DVD' B movie kind of way - studios have made worse, right? Right?
In fact, thinking about it, "Hot Shots Part Deux" already did this, albeit without dinosaurs!

I remember that one: 1994 movie Dinosaur Island

Hard to say if the movie will be any good. I like the general idea, maybe because the special forces and dinosaurs in the jungle fit the Mutant Chronicles setting quite well IMHO.

The premise immediately reminded me of a small skirmish game I've played a bit in the past few years: The Drowned Earth.

Guns, Dinos and Jungles? Check. Just add some anthropomorphic types (like gorilla's with miniguns and raccoons with jumppacks) and you're set 

Or replace the obviously scifi and/or furry elements with some 'proper' military equipment and characters and have at it...
