2019 Directed by Sam Mendes
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield and Blake are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake's own brother among them.
Someone in the YouTube comments for the trailer said this was going to be shot as one long take and I'm a sucker for that Birdman shit.
Well, that trailer looked unbelievably amazing. Looks like everything I love about cinema—Dunkirk/Revenant level epic. Most anticipated for the rest of 2019, even more than The Lighthouse.
TRAILER THOUGHTS
Only thing that concerns me a little bit is the fact that it might be too similar with Dunkirk. Like ticking sounds and all.
But otherwise, I'm in. What a cast! And if that long take thing is true then omg! Deakins better prepare for his 2nd Oscar speech...
Thoughts on the making of this movie.
WW1 has always been the war that fascinated me the most mainly due to the fact that under literally every circumstance whether it be in school, general conversation or debate it has been overshadowed by its arguably bloodier big brother. The film industry is also no angel when it comes to this. When you ask people about what modern movies are set during WW1 they’d probably say Gallipoli, Wonderwoman or ,as of recent, Percy Jackson’s pet project They Shall Not Grow Old. With Gallipoli as the only real film detailing the War (TSNGO is a doc) I’ve not only craved a modern made WW1 movie, but a well made one at that. And…
Sam mendes is a great filmmaker and to prove this fact he must do at least 1 war film (A serious war film).
This is gonna be a 3 and a half hour long world war 1 movie with Roger Deakins
fuck yes
Hello. I am John Movie.
