In Overlord, on the eve of D-Day during World War II, American paratroopers are caught behind enemy lines after their plane crashes on a mission to destroy a German Radio Tower in a small town outside of Normandy. After reaching their target, the paratroopers come to realize that besides fighting off Nazi soldiers, they also must face off against horrifying, bloody, and violent creatures that are a result of a secret Nazi experiment.
Overlord is directed by Julius Avery and stars Jovan Adepo as Pvt. Boyce, a paratrooper; Wyatt Russell as Cpl. Ford, an explosives expert and paratrooper; Mathilde Ollivier as Chloe, a civilian who aides the stranded paratroopers; John Magaro as Tibbet, a paratrooper; Gianny Taufer Paul, Chloe’s brother; Pilou Asbæk as Dr. Wafner, a Nazi officer; and Bokeem Woodbine as Sgt. Eldson.
The film will be released in the United States on November 9, 2018.

The featured image in this article is the teaser poster for the 2018 horror film Overlord from https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4530422/mediaviewer/rm3291707392. The poster art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the item promoted, the publisher of the item promoted or the graphic artist. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of posters to provide critical commentary on the film, event, etc. in question or of the poster itself, not solely for illustration qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United States. Because the image is poster art, a form of product packaging or service marketing, the entire image is needed to identify the product or service, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original poster. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable as counterfeit artwork, pirate versions or for uses that would compete with the commercial purpose of the original artwork. As poster art, the image is not replaceable by free content; any other image that shows the same artwork or poster would also be copyrighted, and any version that is not true to the original would be inadequate for identification or commentary.
