Trailer for the WWII Historical Drama BLITZ Sees Saoirse Ronan Search for Her Son During London Bombings
Apple TV+ has released the trailer for Blitz, a World War II historical drama from writer and director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) taking place as Nazi Germany bombed London.
The film stars Saoirse Ronan as Rita, “a distraught mother who frantically searches for her 9-year-old son George (newcomer Elliott Heffernan) after sending him to the countryside during the Blitz.”
McQueen talked about his film: “Blitz is a movie about Londoners. It honors the spirit of what and how Londoners endured during the Blitz, but also explores the true representation of people in London, while at its core is the story of a working-class family desperate to be reunited during times of war.”
The cast also includes Harris Dickinson, Erin Kellyman, Stephen Graham, Kathy Burke, Paul Weller, Leigh Gill and Benjamin Clementine.
Blitz will make its world premiere on October 9th as the opening night gala of this year’s BFI London Film Festival.
The film will debut in select theaters on November 1 before streaming on Apple TV+ on November 22.
