“The idea was loosely based on a story my grandfather told me,’ Sam shared about the movie to Deadline. “The movie is dedicated to him…”

He added that George and Dean-Charles‘ characters are not him, but are in “the spirit of what he told me and the central idea of a man carrying a message wouldn’t leave me. It just clung on in there somehow, for the last 50 years.”

1917 opens on Christmas Day.

Richard Madden and George MacKay are dapper in suits as they hit the red carpet at the world premiere and royal performance of their anticipated film 1917 held at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on Wednesday (December 4) in London, England.

The 33-year-old actor and his co-star George, 27, were joined at the big event by their other cast mates Andrew Scott, Mark Strong and his wife Liza Marshall, Jamie Parker, Daniel Mays, Dean-Charles Chapman, Nabhaan Rizwan and Claire Duburcq.

Also in attendance at the premiere was writer-director of the film Sam Mendes, as well as Gossip Girl star Ed Westwick who stepped out to show his support.

Here’s a plot summary: at the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them.

Here’s a plot summary: at the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them.

Watch the 1917 trailer inside…

1917 is the new World War I movie from Sam Mendes and it’s going to be a “one-shot movie,” which means it will look like one take from beginning to end.

The Oscar-winning director is opening up about directing the film in a new behind-the-scenes featurette that reveals the stunning way the movie was shot.

“The first World War starts with literally horses and carriages and ends with tanks. So it’s the moment where modern war, you can argue, begins. From the very beginning, I thought this movie should be told in real time. Every step of the journey, breathing every breath with these men felt integral, and there is no better way to tell this story than with one continuous shot,” Sam said.

Here is the film’s synopsis: At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them.

1917 will hit theaters in limited release on December 25 and in wide release on January 10.
