Last month we brought you the news of the new biopic about Churchill, today we have the first trailer for the film that stars Brian Cox as the British prime minister.
The new trailer is the chance to see how Cox will take on the role and how he will portray Churchill at a time the world was at war.
Brian Cox as Churchill
Set days before the infamous D-Day landings in June 1944 and as allied forces stand on the south coast of Britain, poised to invade Nazi-occupied Europe, they await Churchill’s decision on whether the invasion will actually move ahead. Fearful of repeating his mistakes from World War I on the beaches of Gallipoli, exhausted by years of war, plagued by depression and obsessed with fulfilling historical greatness, Churchill is also faced with constant criticism from his political opponents; General Eisenhower and Field Marshal Montgomery. Only the unflinching support of Churchill’s brilliant, unflappable wife Clementine can halt the Prime Minister’s physical and mental collapse and help lead him to greatness.
