In addition, the cast includes Betty Gilpin (GLOW), Mary Lynn Rajskub (24), J. K. Simmons (Justice League), Yvonne Strahovski (Dexter), and others. Chris McKay (The Lego Batman Movie) directed the film while Zach Dean (24 Hours to Live, Deadfall) wrote the script.
The Tomorrow War was one of the countless movie causalities of lockdowns. Initially, it was to come out in movie theaters on Christmas Day, 2020. Due to the pandemic, however, it was postponed to July 23, 2021. Later, it was removed from the schedule entirely. Instead, Paramount and Skydance initiated a bidding war for distribution rights. Amazon won, reportedly cashing out around $200 million.
