August 18 1989 –
Columbia Pictures released Brian DePalma’s memorable war drama, Casualties of War, starring Michael J. Fox, Sean Penn, John C. Reilly, and John Leguizamo, in the US on this date.
This is not the first film that has been made about Daniel Lang’s 1969 article. In 1970, Brian De Palma was in Berlin when its film festival was closed, because German director Michael Verhoeven had sparked controversy with his film O.K., which depicted the crime that the group of soldiers had committed. De Palma said he has tried to track the film down over the years, but has never seen it to this day.
