The first image of Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill in director Joe Wright’s “Darkest Hour” has been revealed.
Joining Oldman in the cast are John Hurt as Neville Chamberlain, whom Churchill succeeded as Prime Minister; Lily James as Churchill’s personal secretary; Ben Mendelsohn as King George VI; and Kristin Scott Thomas as Churchill’s wife, Clementine.
“Darkest Hour” will release in the US on November 24, 2017.
Within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill 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.
