Sundance Film ‘War Game’ Picked Up By Submarine Deluxe & Decal Releasing; Chilling Jan. 6 Redux Pic Set For August Big Screen Release

EXCLUSIVE: A terrifying near real-life look at America’s possible political future is coming to the big screen this summer – – and I don’t mean the GOP convention in Milwaukee next month.

Depicting another January 6 attack on democracy and the certification of a presidential election in near real time, the Warren Littlefield executive produced War Game has been acquired by Submarine Deluxe and Decal Releasing, I’ve learned.

Bombshell: The Hedy Lemarr Story distributors Submarine Deluxe plan to screen the Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber film on August 2 at NYC’s Film Forum and then take it wider starting on August 9.

Decal Releasing will release War Game on VOD in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, while Boat Rocker will distribute the film overseas. “We are thrilled to be working with directors Jesse Moss and Tony Gerber, along with producers and partners Boat Rocker, Matador Content, Anonymous Content and Vet Voice Foundation on their Sundance docu-thriller War Game,” said Submarine Deluxe co-founder Dan Braun this morning. “Frankly, it’s hard to imagine a more relevant and bone-chilling film; a film that we believe will resonate deeply with audiences.” The thrill was shared. “We’re thrilled to partner with Submarine Deluxe and Decal to bring War Game to audiences this fall,” declared past Emmy winners Moss and Gerber Friday. “The film is an invitation to the White House Situation Room to experience a real-time look at a dystopian but entirely plausible political future, and a scary, gripping but also hopeful look at Presidential decision-making in crisis.” “Hopeful” being the operative word here.
