Paramount Pictures has released two new clips from the upcoming comedy movie Whiskey Tango Foxtrot directed by the Crazy, Stupid, Love filmmaking team of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. The new clips focus on Tina Fey’s character who is reluctantly recruited to cover the Iraq war. 30 Rock‘s Robert Carlock adapted the screenplay from Kim Barker’s book The Taliban Shuffle: Strange Days In Afghanistan And Pakistan. Margot Robbie, Martin Freeman, Alfred Molina, and Billy Bob Thornton co-star. Paramount’s aiming for a March 4, 2016 theatrical release of the adult comedy.
Fey, Saturday Night Live‘s Lorne Michael, and Ian Bruce produced the film, with Charlie Gogolak, Eric Gurian, and Sam Grey executive producing. The cast also includes Nicholas Braun, Sterling K. Brown (currently seen starring in The People v O.J. Simpson as prosecutor Christopher Darden), Josh Charles, and Christopher Abbott.
The Plot: When reporter Kim Baker’s (Tina Fey) life needs something more, she decides to ‘shake it all up’ by taking an assignment in a war zone. There, in the midst of chaos, she finds the strength she never knew she had. Sometimes it takes saying ‘WTF’ to find the life you were always destined to have.
