Journey’s End Trailer – Sam Claflin & Asa Butterfield star in the classic World War I tale

October 23, 2017 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Synopsis: ‘Based on RC Sherriff’s play and novel of the same name JOURNEY’S END is set in March 1918 as C-Company, led by a war-weary Captain Stanhope (Sam Claflin) arrives in northern France to take its turn in the front-line trenches. Told that a German offensive is imminent Stanhope drowns his fears in whisky whilst the officers (Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham, Tom Sturridge) and their cook (Toby Jones) attempt to distract themselves in their dugout with talk of food and life before war.

‘They are joined by Raleigh (Asa Butterfield), a young new officer fresh out of training excited about his first real posting, and a chance to serve under Stanhope. Raleigh’s naivety serves as a stark contrast to the other men’s impending fear as the tension rises and the attack draws ever closer.’

Saul Dibb (Suite Française, The Duchess) directs the movie, which will arrive in UK cinemas February 2nd 2018. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Suite Francaise Trailer – Michelle Williams deals with the German invasion of France

October 24, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Suite-Francaise-slideMany of the films hoping for Oscar nominations are already busy jostling for position, but now we get one that may be up for BAFTAs next year, but without a confirmed 2014 US release set, may not be up for the Oscars. The film is Suite Francaise, which has just released its first trailer.

Based on the best-selling book by Irene Nemirovsky and set during the German occupation of France in the 1940’s, Suite Française tells the story of Lucille Angellier (Michelle Williams) as she awaits news from her husband, a prisoner of war.

As Parisian refugees pour into their small town, soon followed by a regiment of German soldiers who take up residence in the villagers’ homes, Lucile’s life is turned upside down – further complicated by the arrival of refined German officer, Bruno (Matthias Schoenaerts).

The movie is due out January 23rd 2015 in the UK. [Read more…]

Matthias Schoenaerts Joins Michelle Williams In Suite Francaise

November 26, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Belgian actor Matthias Schoenaerts has been having success over the last few months opposite Marion Cotillard in Jacques Audiard’s Rust & Bone, and now he’s got a new project up his sleeve, as the Daily Mail reports he’s joined the cast of Suite Francaise, which already has Michelle Williams and Kristin Scott Thoman attached to star.

The film is based on Irene Nemirovsky’s novel, which she wrote (but never completed) during World War II, shortly before she was arrested and taken to a concentration camp, where she died. The novel was finally published in 2004 and praised for its firsthand look at the ever-changing situation for French people as the Nazis took over.

Michelle Williams will play Lucille Angellier, a young woman in Nazi-occupied France who falls for a young German soldier (Schoenaerts) while her husband is off fighting the war. Her only escape is playing the piano, which piques the interest of the soldier who was a composer before the war. Scott-Thomas is set to play Lucille’s mother-in-law.

Saul Dibb (The Duchess) will direct, with production scheduled to begin next spring in London.

Michelle Williams Checks Into Suite Francaise

October 11, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Michelle Williams has a knack for picking interesting projects, which may not be fodder for massive blockbuster success, but which make for worthwhile films. She’s continuing that pattern as Variety reports she is in talks to star in the wartime drama Suite Francaise for filmmaker Saul Dibb (The Duchess).

If a deal is reached, the Oscar-nominated actress will portray Lucille Angellier, a young woman in Nazi-occupied France who falls for a young German soldier while her husband is off fighting the war. Her only escape is playing the piano, which piques the interest of the soldier who was a composer before the war.

The film is based on Irene Nemirovsky’s novel, which she wrote (but never completed) during World War II, shortly before she was arrested and taken to a concentration camp, where she died. The novel was finally published in 2004 and praised for its firsthand look at the ever-changing situation for French people as the Nazis took over.

Saul Dibb will direct from his own screenplay. Prodcution is scheduled to begin next spring in London.
