Saoirse Ronan in Steve McQueen’s WWII London Movie ‘Blitz’ Trailer

“My Mom sent me away.” “She did it to keep you safe.” Apple has finally unveiled the official trailer for the movie Blitz, the next cinematic creation from maestro Steve McQueen (director of Hunger, Shame, 12 Years a Slave, Widows, Small Axe). It’s set to premiere soon at the 2024 New York & London Film Festivals this fall, before opening in theaters in early November and streaming on Apple TV+ later that month. The new film follows the stories of a group of Londoners during the events of the London bombing in World War II (from 1940 to 1941). A defiant young boy goes on an adventure running around London during the war only to find himself in immense peril, while a distraught Rita searches for her missing son. Saoirse Ronan stars as Rita, along with Elliott Heffernan as her 9-year-old son George. The full ensemble cast for this includes Harris Dickinson, Benjamin Clementine, Kathy Burke, Paul Weller, Stephen Graham, Leigh Gill, Mica Ricketts, CJ Beckford, Alex Jennings, Joshua McGuire, Hayley Squires, Erin Kellyman & Sally Messham. Featuring a score by Hans Zimmer. An interesting first look trailer, which plays more like a teaser with various flashes of footage – showing the bombings and tunnels and much more. // Continue Reading ›
