Newcomer Beulah Koale, a New Zealand actor of Samoan descent, has landed the third lead in DreamWorks’ PTSD drama “Thank You for Your Service” alongside Miles Teller and Haley Bennett, TheWrap has learned.
Jason Hall, the Oscar-nominated writer of “American Sniper,” will make his directorial debut with the project, which he adapted from the nonfiction book by David Finkel. Jon Kilik has come on to produce the film, which will be executive produced by Ann Ruark.
“Thank You for Your Service” follows a group of U.S. soldiers who return from Iraq and struggle to integrate back into their civilian lives with their families, as they’re still haunted by the horrific memories of a war that threatens to destroy them long after they’ve left the battlefield.
