How Andrew Scott did not get nominated for his role in ‘All of us Strangers’ is anyone’s guess but new is in of the Andrew Scott WWII film that’s about to start filming.
PRESSURE is a visceral edge-of-your-seat ticking-clock thriller, based on the extraordinary true story around the three-day run up to D-Day. Olivier award-winner David Haig and Anthony Maras wrote the screenplay based on Haig’s critically lauded play, which enjoyed a hugely successful run in London’s West End, before going on to be performed for Her Majesty The Queen and world leaders to mark the D-Day 75th anniversary in 2019
In the seventy two hours leading up to D-Day, all the pieces are in place except for one key element—the British weather. Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. The wrong conditions could devastate the largest ever seaborne invasion, while any delay risks German intelligence catching on. With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower. With only hours to go, the fate of the war and the lives of millions hang in the balance.
Filming begins in Septmeber for a 2025 release
