Here is what looks to be the final set of movie stills for the upcoming Clint Eastwood drama Flags of Our Fathers due out next week.
Flags of Our Fathers Movie Stills
February 1945. Even as victory in Europe was finally within reach, the war in the Pacific raged on. One of the most crucial and bloodiest battles of the war was the struggle for the island of Iwo Jima, which culminated with what would become one of the most iconic images in history: five Marines and a Navy corpsman raising the American flag on Mount Suribachi.
I have to admit, I had my doubts on Ryan Phillippe for this film. The trailers and the recent special on HBO, however, prove that the actor not only nailed his part, but looks a lot like the soldier he is portraying. Hell, each actor picked to represent a flag raiser looks spot on with the soldier they represent; nice work by the casting agent.

Ryan Phillippe has already experienced military conflict. Before becoming the heart-breaker in Cruel Intentions, Phillippe was Seaman Grattam in Crimson Tide. His role was so small -- not a single word of dialogue -- that it is a miracle he was given a name other than 'extra.'
