Devotion Trailer Previews Film Based on America’s Forgotten War

Sony Pictures has released a trailer for Devotion, the forthcoming Korean war drama film. The movie stars Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell in a story based on true events. It will have its world premiere this September at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, followed by its theatrical release on November 23.

The video, which you can check out below, highlights the friendship and heroism of naval aviators Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner, who made history in America’s forgotten war.

Described as an aerial war epic, Devotion is based on Adam Makos’ book of the same name. It stars Jonathan Majors (Lovecraft Country) as Jesse Brown, Glen Powell (Hidden Figures) as Tom Hudner, Joe Jonas (Camp Rock) as Marty Goode, Christina Jackson as Daisy Brown, and Thomas Sadoski (The Newsroom) as Dick Cevoli.

“The film tells the harrowing true story of two elite US Navy fighter pilots during the Korean War,” reads the synopsis. “Their heroic sacrifices would ultimately make them the Navy’s most celebrated wingmen.”

Devotion is directed by J.D. Dillard from a screenplay written by Jake Crane and Jonathan A.H. Stewart. It is produced by Molly Smith, Rachel Smith, Thad Luckinbill, and Trent Luckinbill, with Dillard and Powell serving as executive producers.
