Peter Berg is all set to begin filming on his upcoming film The Mosquito Bowl, in Australia, this month. The film is an adaptation of Buzz Bissinger’s novel The Mosquito Bowl: A Game of Life and Death in World War II.

After getting to know about the attack on Pearl Harbour, four of the top American Football players, enlist to serve in the US Marine Corps. When they prepare to ship for the US' invasion of Okinawa, Empire of Japan, they will play a legendary football game featuring some of the most revered players.

On filming in Australia, Berg said, "I’m thrilled to be in Queensland filming The Mosquito Bowl with some of the best crews in the world. The landscapes here are cinematic gold — perfect for bringing this story to life. So far, I’ve crossed paths with two kangaroos and a couple of pythons, and I’m seriously considering casting them! Huge thanks to Screen Queensland for their incredible support in helping make this production possible.”

The cast for the film includes Nicholas Galitzine, Bill Skarsgard, Ray Nicholson, and Tom Francis. Berf has written the film along with Mark L Smith.
