You’ve Never Seen Tina Fey In A Movie Like This Before

The image of Tina Fey yelling and pumping a machine gun is, to say the least, powerful.

The film, which stars Tina Fey as a reporter who heads to Afghanistan and Pakistan as an unsatisfied woman who wanted out of her job and her “mildly-depressive boyfriend”, -reasoning which is labeled, by another woman in the film, as “the most American white lady story I’ve ever heard”.

In the film, Fey plays a television journalist who gets sent to the Middle East because she is an “unmarried, childless personnel” at her cable news network.

Focus’ Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are directing this one, which Fey’s 30 Rock collaborator Robert Carlock adapted from Kim Barker’s real-life memoir of life as a war correspondent.

Along with Fey, the film stars Margot Robbie, Billy Bob Thornton, Martin Freeman and Alfred Molina. Sisters, co-starring her soulmate Amy Poehler, is opening against the biggest movie in the history of planet earth, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is out here on March 4.

When Kim Barker first arrived in Kabul as a journalist in 2002, she barely owned a passport, spoke only English and had little idea how to do the “Taliban Shuffle” between Afghanistan and Pakistan. There’s a hint of love in the air thanks to a fellow photojournalist also flung into the conflict, with whom she strikes up a friendship.

Tina Fey is a reporter on a mission in the first trailer for Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
