Action Packed Gore Filled ‘Overlord’ Trailer Unleashed Ahead Of SDCC

Ahead of tonight’s start of San Diego Comic-Con, Paramount has released the red band trailer for the WWII set Overlord.

Set during World War II, Overlord, directed by Julius Avery, takes place “On the eve of D-Day, a group of American paratroopers are dropped behind enemy lines to carry out a mission crucial to the invasion’s success, but as they approach their target, they begin to realize there is more going on in
