With director Chris McKay’s The Tomorrow War now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, I recently spoke with actors Jasmine Mathews and Keith Powers about making the time-traveling alien apocalypse blockbuster. Written by Zach Dean, The Tomorrow War is about a group of time travelers that arrive from the year 2051 to warn humanity that 30 years in the future a war is being lost against a deadly alien race that could signal the end of all life on our planet. This leads to the world banding together to send both soldiers and civilians to the future to join the battle. Chris Pratt plays a former member of the military who is one of the many drafted into service. The Tomorrow War also stars Sam Richardson, J. K. Simmons, Betty Gilpin, Edwin Hodge, Jasmine Mathews, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Theo Von, and Keith Powers. The film's producers are David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, Don Granger, Jules Daly, David Goyer, and Adam Kolbrenner, with executive producers including Pratt as well as Rob Cowan, Brian Oliver, and Bradley J. Fischer.

During the interview, Jasmine Mathews and Keith Powers talked about what people would be surprised to learn about the making of The Tomorrow War, the secret to fighting aliens that are not actually there with you, how the film isn’t based on existing IP, what it was like working with cinematographer Larry Fong, how the film pulls a Bad Boys 2 in that you think the film is over but it’s just the end of the second act, and having the movie stream on Amazon Prime Video.
