Jonah Hill releases new trailer for 'War Dogs' movie

LOS ANGELES, July 1 (UPI) -- Jonah Hill took to Twitter to share a second trailer for his upcoming movie War Dogs which, he said, is "based on an insane true story."

War Dogs follows two arms dealers who end up with a $300M government contract to purchase weapons for U.S. troops in Afghanistan in 2007.

The screenplay is based on a Rolling Stone article and subsequent book titled Arms and the Dudes by Guy Lawson.

Jonah Hill is joined by Divergent series alum Miles Teller and by Bradley Cooper.

Hill recently starred in the musical ensemble Hail, Caesar! and lends his voice to the upcoming R-rated animated flick Sausage Party.

Teller starred as bully Peter Hayes in the Divergent movies and as Reed Richards in the recent remake of Fantastic Four.

War Dogs hits theaters Aug. 19.
