'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' starring Kristen Stewart

Director Ang Lee is back with a new film, starring Joe Alwyn, Garrett Hedlund, Vin Diesel, and our girl, Kristen Stewart. It's titles Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, based on a novel. The film is told from the point of view of 19-year-old private Billy Lynn (newcomer Joe Alwyn) who, along with his fellow soldiers in Bravo Squad, becomes a hero after a harrowing Iraq battle and is brought home temporarily for a victory tour.  Through flashbacks, culminating at the spectacular halftime show of the Thanksgiving Day football game, the film reveals what really happened to the squad – contrasting the realities of the war with America’s perceptions.  The film also stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Tucker, Garrett Hedlund, with Vin Diesel, and Steve Martin.
