San Diego is set to showcase the highly anticipated film “Primitive War” during the San Diego Comic-Con 2025, where exclusive giveaways and a star-studded panel will highlight the event. Based on the popular novel series by Ethan Pettus, the film offers a unique blend of gritty sci-fi and thrilling adventure, envisioning a scenario where the U.S. military employs dinosaurs as weapons during the Vietnam War.

The much-anticipated film, directed by Luke Sparke, features a talented cast including Ryan Kwanten, known for his role in “True Blood”; Tricia Helfer from “Battlestar Galactica”; Nick Wechsler from “The Boys”; and Jeremy Piven, recognized for his work in “Entourage.” “Primitive War” follows a search and rescue team named “Vulture Squad,” dispatched to locate a missing Green Beret platoon lost in a secluded jungle valley. The narrative intensifies as the squad discovers the valley is inhabited by dinosaurs, presenting both mental and physical survival challenges.

An exciting feature of Comic-Con is “The Drop,” a street-level giveaway happening just outside the convention center. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive limited-edition T-shirts by sharing the secret code word “VULTURE” with operatives dressed in official “Primitive War” gear. Located at the corner of J Street & 5th Avenue, “The Drop” will take place at various times during the convention:

  • Wednesday, July 23: 6pm-9pm
  • Thursday, July 24: 8am-5:30pm
  • Friday, July 25: 8am-12pm

With a limited supply available on a first-come, first-served basis, there may also be surprise appearances from the film’s cast during “The Drop,” further enhancing the excitement for fans.

The “Primitive War” panel is scheduled for Friday, July 25, at 12:15pm in Ballroom 20. Aimed at engaging fans and sharing insights, the panel will feature discussions led by the director and main cast members, providing deeper context on the film’s production, characters, and themes.

Scheduled for a wider release on August 21, 2025, “Primitive War” will be distributed in cinemas across the United States by Fathom Entertainment, a company celebrated for its two decades of experience in theatrical distribution across 45 countries. The film will also be released in Australian theaters through Rialto Distribution, underlining the film’s international appeal.

Tickets for “Primitive War” are currently available through Fathom Entertainment and participating theater box offices, allowing fans to secure their seats for what promises to be a thrilling cinematic experience. As anticipation builds for both the film and its presence at Comic-Con, “Primitive War” is poised to capture the attention of moviegoers and fans alike.
