Sam Mendes' '1917' Movie Kicks Off Filming - See Set Photos!

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.
