There’s yet another exciting show to look forward to this season on Broadway!

The acclaimed play The Lehman Trilogy, which previously played a sold-out run at New York’s Park Avenue Armory, will finally make its way to Broadway.

Weaving together nearly two centuries of family history, The Lehman Trilogy charts the humble beginnings, outrageous successes, and devastating failure of the financial institution that would ultimately bring the global economy to its knees.

Academy Award and Tony Award winner Sam Mendes will return as the director along with original cast members Simon Russell Beale, Adam Godley, and Ben Miles.

The 16-week limited engagement begins on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at the Nederlander Theatre and the official opening night is set for March 26, 2020.

Mark Strong and George MacKay work on a scene for their upcoming war drama 1917 on Wednesday (June 12) in Glasgow, Scotland.

The actors were dressed as soldiers on set with director Sam Mendes, who was seen wearing a black jacket and cap. While it’s nearly summer, the temperatures thankfully weren’t too hot that day as many actors were dressed in lots of layers.

The plot of the movie 1917 is not yet known, but it is believed that the movie will follow two soldiers during one day of World War I.

Also in the cast are Benedict Cumberbatch, Colin Firth, and Richard Madden. The movie will hit theaters on Christmas Day this year.

It looks like the producers of the James Bond films might need to look for more than just a new star as director Sam Mendes doesn’t plan on returning to the franchise.

The director helmed the previous two movies, Skyfall and Spectre, to great acclaim.

“I’m a storyteller and at the end of the day I want to make stories with new characters,” Sam said (via The Telegraph). “I also believe there are directors out there who can do the job every bit as well as me. And like me with Skyfall, it should come from a slightly unexpected direction. It was an incredible adventure, I loved every second of it. It was a privilege, all the experiences were gobsmacking for me, but I think it’s time for somebody else to do a great job.”

Sam also talked about Daniel Craig possibly being replaced by a new actor.

“There’s this constant debate about who’s going to be the next Bond,” Sam said. “The truth is – and here’s the headline: it’s not a democracy. It’s not the X Factor, it’s not the EU referendum, it’s not a public vote. Barbara Broccoli chooses who’s going to be the next Bond: end of story. Without that, there would be no Daniel Craig because public support for Daniel was zero. It was her saying ‘that man over there is going to change the whole thing, I’m going to cast him.’”

Daniel Craig poses alongside director Sam Mendes while attending their Times Talks Presents: Spectre panel held at The New School on Wednesday (November 4) in New York City.

The 47-year-old actor then made his way to the Ed Sullivan Theatre to make an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote the flick, which hits theaters Friday (November 6).
