Johnny Got His Gun

Greenwood Hill Productions announces the release of its first feature length motion picture, a new film version of Dalton Trumbo's classic anti-war novel, Johnny Got His Gun, starring Ben McKenzie.

Described by BlackBook Magazine as "a heady mix of Samuel Beckett's Happy Days, Lars Von Trier's Dogville, and Pat Barker's Regeneration," the movie is a new play-on-film version of the novel, based on the 1982 Off-Broadway play which starred Jeff Daniels.

All Screen Actors Guild Nominating Committee members may receive two complimentary tickets to JOHNNY throughout the run of the engagement.

McKenzie plays 'Joe Bonham', a young American soldier hit by an artillery shell on the last day of the First World War. As a quadruple amputee who has also lost his eyes, ears, nose and mouth, he lies in a hospital bed but remains conscious and able to reason, all the while struggling to communicate with the outside world. The film explores the interplay between science, medicine, religion, and politics.
