A new trailer for the Boston Marathon bombing movie, Patriots Day, was published today. Following the first trailer in October, this new one shows off more of the film that chronicles the April 2013 bombing and its immediate aftermath, including the manhunt for the two suspects.

Mark Wahlberg stars as police sergeant Tommy Saunders, while Kevin Bacon, John Goodman, J.K. Simmons, and Carol Saunders also appear as people affected by the terrorist attack. The film weaves together their stories.

Patriots Day is directed by Peter Berg, who directed Wahlberg in the past for Lone Survivor and Deepwater Horizon. The movie sees a limited release on December 21, before expanding to more theaters on January 13, 2017.

It's called Patriots Day because the Boston Marathon bombings took place on the state holiday of Patriots' Day in April 2013. The marathon takes place every year on that holiday.

Disclosure: Patriots Day is produced in part by CBS Films, a division of GameSpot's parent company.
