The guys of 1917 are hard at work promoting their new movie!
George Mackay, Dean-Charles Chapman, and Andrew Scott were all smiles on the red carpet as they attended the premiere of their new movie on Wednesday evening (December 18) at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.
Here’s a plot summary: At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) 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.

Over the weekend, critics were able to get a first look at the new WWI movie directed by Sam Mendes – and some are already calling it the “best war film since Saving Private Ryan.”

1917 is the new World War I movie from Sam Mendes and it’s going to be a “one-shot movie,” which means it will look like one take from beginning to end.
The Oscar-winning director is opening up about directing the film in a new behind-the-scenes featurette that reveals the stunning way the movie was shot.
“The first World War starts with literally horses and carriages and ends with tanks. So it’s the moment where modern war, you can argue, begins. From the very beginning, I thought this movie should be told in real time. Every step of the journey, breathing every breath with these men felt integral, and there is no better way to tell this story than with one continuous shot,” Sam said.
Here is the film’s synopsis: At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) 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.
1917 will hit theaters in limited release on December 25 and in wide release on January 10.
