Here's the Super Bowl trailer for Relativity Media's awesome looking Navy Seal film Actor of Valor. The movie is described as “a hybrid feature film based on the Seal ethos that highlights both naval special warfare capability and fleet interaction.” Co-director McCoy said, “I found the SEALs fascinating. People never know exactly how far you can push yourself, and the SEALs are a direct representation of that.”

This is a huge chunk of money for a film with a group of no name actors. In fact, the actors in the film are actual badass Navy SEALs. The Navy was even involved with the films production.
The film was written by 300 screenwriter Kurt Johnstad and directed by Mike "Mouse" McCoy and Scott Waugh (Step into Liquid). What may look like a recruitment film is actually a story that follows a group of SEALs charged with the mission of recovering a kidnapped CIA agent, "and in the process takes down a complex web of terrorist cells determined to strike America at all costs." This will be the first Navy Seal film to come out since Seal Team 6 took out Osama bin Laden. Even though the movie doesn't revolve around that,...

The Navy SEALs got a massive PR boost when the killing of Osama Bin Laden was announced. Not that the special forces team really needed a boost, given that the SEALs are one of the most highly-regarded military teams in the world. But the boost came regardless, and one of the aftereffects is that quite a few companies want to make movies or TV about the team and the operations it undertakes. While Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal seemed to have the jump on everyone [1] with their film that has been referred to as Kill Bin Laden (not the final title [2]), it turns out that another SEALs film has already been shot, and Relativity just bought it for an early 2012 release. (Think: President's Day.) The film is called Act of Valor (once called I Am That Man) and it stars actual Navy SEALs. Some images from set and more info are after the break.

The film, a “mission movie involving Navy Seals,” is titled Act of Valour (or Act of Valor on IMDb) and stars actual, active duty members of United States Navy’s sea, air and land teams, while also being backed by the military.

Dana Brown ("Step Into Liquid," "Dust to Glory") grew up in the world of competitive surfing. So it's natural that as a filmmaker he should return to this scene for inspiration. His latest film focuses on the Triple Crown of pro surfing, a nearly two-month competition that takes place on the gorgeous beaches of Oahu’s North Shore. The waves that crash against this beach, we are told, are the most incredible, unpredictable, and dangerous ones in the world, a fitting setting for men and women to battle with nature with nothing but a surfboard to protect them.
After setting the scene with some incredible helicopter shots of the rest of Hawaii, the film introduces us to the heavy hitters of pro surfing off the island's North Shore: gritty underdogs, retiring old pros, a couple of preteen wunderkinds, and many eager young surfers trying to...

NEW YORK -- On the heels of coming aboard Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, IFC Films has acquired another documentary, Step Into Liquid helmer Dana Brown's Dust to Glory. The indie banner has been on a documentary buying spree of late: The company's Metallica: Some Kind of Monster will hit theaters in the summer, and another acquisition -- the mountaineering movie Touching the Void -- was released in January and climbed to nearly $4.5 million. Dust follows off-road racing's Baja 1000, the longest continuous point-to-point race in the world across Baja California.
Step Into Liquid director Dana Brown and producers Scott Waugh and Rich Wilson have teamed with motorcycle racing phenomenon Mike "Mouse" McCoy to produce the feature-length action sports documentary Dust to Glory through their newly formed Dusted Prods. banner. Scheduled to begin principal photography later this month, the film will take audiences into the adrenaline-induced granddaddy of all off-road races, the legendary Baja 1000. Dubbed "the most famous race that no one has ever seen," the Baja 1000 is the longest point-to-point race in the world and boasts 300-400 competitors battling the desert aboard their off-road vehicle of choice -- ranging from motorcycles to Buggies to $750,000 Trophy Trucks -- as it pits man against man, man against the machine and man against nature.
