Gary Oldman's Winston Churchill Faces Dunkirk in New Trailer For DARKEST HOUR
A new trailer has been released for the upcoming Winston Churchill film Darkest Hour and it makes sure to point out that the story will include Churchill's involvement with Dunkirk. As you know, Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk was a big hit, and this film will partly tell a different point of view of that story. Another way the marketing team tries to give this film a connection to Nolan's film is with the music. The trailer features the same type of intense clicking sounds that we heard in the Dunkirk trailers.
Churchill is played by Gary Oldman in the Joe Wright-directed film and it looks like he gives one hell of a great performance! There's a good chance that he'll end up getting an Oscar nomination for this.
A thrilling and inspiring true story begins at the precipice of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
Focus Features will release the film on November 11th.
