From Patriots Day:
From acclaimed director Peter Berg (“Deepwater Horizon,” “Lone Survivor”) and Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg (“The Departed,” “Lone Survivor”), CBS Films and Lionsgate present “Patriots Day.” Based on true events, “Patriots Day” is a powerful story of a community’s extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. An account of the events surrounding the Boston Marathon bombing, the tension-packed dramatic thriller chronicles in detail one of the most sophisticated and well-coordinated manhunts in law enforcement history.
The 2013 Boston Marathon bombing shattered lives and tested the fabric of the American spirit. But in its wake, an entire city came together to bring the perpetrators to justice before they could inflict further damage. Rather than give themselves over to panic and fear, the citizens of Boston banded together, choosing solidarity over divisiveness in pursuit of a common enemy.
From RP Staff:
There's a chance that Director Peter Berg and Sgt Jeff Pugliese might visit us at RP to answer some of your questions about the film. In advance of our discussion with them, let us know what you would ask if you could be here with us!

Does the movie include any part about how the perpetrators were brought to justice? Did you use any live coverage of the trials?

Martin William Richard was the 8 year old boy murdered by the second bomb from the warriors for Su'en.
Will the movie touch base on tribal warfare and the meaning of placing the bomb next to an 8 year old Saxon child?
Thank you for reading my post.

Mr. Berg, you worked with Mark Wahlberg prior to this movie, so you know how he works on a movie set. Being that this movie was about his hometown, how much more focused was he in the making of this movie?

Do you use veterans or service members currently serving in the armed forces as extras when making these kinds movies and how do you go about recruiting veterans and service members to help out as extras or for small roles for scenes that would best suited for someone with a military background.
Thanks

For Peter Berg I've been a fan of your body of work since Friday Night Lights, and notice that a common thread are characters with a lot of heart and commitment to something bigger. How do you choose which projects to green light and commit to making into reality?

Thank you for joining us here on RP.
Please excuse me if these questions have already been asked.
1. How many of the actual first responders to the incident have been consulted for this film, and are any of them seen in the film in their actual capacity on the day of the incident?
2. What sort of "boot camp" did the actors go through for this movie? For example, were FEMA courses attended? Did anyone receive training as a Paramedic or become educated in tactical medicine? Did anyone attend a police academy or SWAT school?
3. Does the movie honestly portray the successes and failures of those that responded to the incident?
4. Are there any end notes stating what happened to the people in the time after then incident?

"Based on true events" My question would be to respectfully ask what, if any liberties, will be taken to add to the movie?
I ask this because in many movies based on true events, there have been many historical inaccuracies. I do really want to see this movie.
