First Trailer for Spike Lee's Vietnam Vets Film 'Da 5 Bloods' on Netflix

"Gentlemen - welcome back to Vietnam." Netflix has debuted the first trailer for Da 5 Bloods, Spike Lee's new joint that will be debuting directly to Netflix in June coming this summer. This was originally supposed to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival as a special selection, but it will be released soon anyway. In the film, four African-American Vets battle the forces of man and nature when they return to Vietnam seeking the remains of their fallen Squad Leader and the gold fortune he helped them hide. The cast for this is incredible! Starring Delroy Lindo, Jonathan Majors, Clarke Peters, Norm Lewis, Isiah Whitlock Jr., with Mélanie Thierry, Paul Walter Hauser, Jasper Pääkkönen, Johnny Trí Nguyễn, Van Veronica Ngo, plus Jean Reno, and Chadwick Boseman. Hot damn, this looks terrific! What a trailer. Psychedelic title cards, vintage 4:3 footage, and one helluva story about some old Vietnam Vets going back.

Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Spike Lee's Da 5 Bloods, direct from Netflix's YouTube:
