First Trailer for ‘September 5’ Film with John Magaro & Peter Sarsgaard

“Can we show someone being shot on live television?” Paramount Pictures has finally unveiled the official US trailer for a film called September 5, which premiered to exceptional praise at both the 2024 Venice & Telluride Film Festivals this fall. It has earned some very positive reviews but is only beginning to get buzz with a release dates set for November and December in US theaters. During the 1972 Munich Olympics (on September 5th, 1972), an American sports broadcasting crew finds itself thrust into covering the hostage crisis involving Israeli athletes. The film focuses on the crew of the ABC Sports TV station that was located in the Olympic village, covering all the sports events live for the first time ever in television history. Through this lens, September 5 provides a fresh perspective on the live broadcast seen globally by an estimated one billion people at the time. It’s a ticking clock thriller without showing any violence – it’s all about the news crew deciding what the right thing to do (and show) is during this infamous hostage crisis. Starring Peter Sarsgaard, John Magaro, Ben Chaplin, Leonie Benesch, Zinedine Soualem, Corey Johnson, Georgina Rich, Marcus Rutherford, Daniel Adeosun, Benjamin Walker, Ferdinand Dörfler. It’s a very good suspenseful film that will be heavily discussed this awards season – check out the footage below. // Continue Reading ›
