Mel Gibson’s HACKSAW RIDGE Starts Shooting; First Images Released

Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge has started shooting in Australia – and the above pic is the first official image from the WWII movie.

Andrew Garfield stars as Desmond Doss, the first conscientious objector to win the Congressional Medal of Honour. Vince Vaughn, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer and Rachel Griffiths co-star in the drama which was written by Randall Wallace, Robert Schenkkan and Andrew Knight.

Gibson (who can be seen directing on-set in the below image) had this to say:

“While production has only just begun, there is already incredible camaraderie between the cast. Not only is Andrew perfect for the role of Desmond Doss, the entire cast are an incredible mix of experience, depth and exciting up and coming talent.”
