Watch the brand new trailer for Pressure below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, Pressure follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) and Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott) as they face an impossible choice—launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.

Director Anthony Maras brings David Haig’s acclaimed play to the big screen, and Pressure is shaping up to be a nail-biting watch of dramatic intensity as General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser), the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces, calls upon the services of Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott), a genius-level meteorologist, and a man who has Sir Winston Churchill’s trust to help him to provide the key decision that will forever change the tide of the war together.

This new trailer builds upon what we’ve already seen in the first teaser trailer and ratchets up the intensity for a watch that is a pure-dramatic thriller of the highest order, and its edge-of-your-seat suspense, with the clock ticking at each moment as the very nature of trust and decisive action weighs on both Eisenhower and Stagg, will have audiences braced for what comes next.

Watch the all-new trailer for Pressure below:

Here’s the official synopsis:

In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, Pressure follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) and Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott) as they face an impossible choice—launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.

Telling the true story of the behind-the-scenes decisions that ultimately shaped one of the world’s most historically significant events, director Anthony Maras brings David Haig’s acclaimed play to the big screen, and headlining it is an incredibly talented cast. Andrew Scott and Academy Award-winner Brendan Fraser portray Captain James Stagg, a celebrated and genius-level meteorologist, and General Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces, who together must develop a bond of deep trust as each man’s decisions will shape the future of humanity, and the very victory of the war in the process.

The tension is ramped up in this trailer, and Pressure promises to be an intense and taut watch of immense psychological stress, as Scott’s Stagg and Fraser’s Eisenhower battle ego, rank, and consensus to decide the very fate of the free world, and audiences will be holding on for dear life with this one.

Providing a key level of support to the production are actors Kerry Condon and Damien Lewis, who portray Captain Kay Summersby, Eisenhower’s personal assistant and chauffeur, and a key voice of reason when the general needed it, and Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, commander of British Forces, and a man with a keen strategic mind and a mission-first belief. Both appear to be at the top of their game here in Pressure.

With superb attention to detail, a focus on heavy drama, and a burning battle of wills, the tension mounts in Pressure, and this is set to be one of the year’s most exciting releases when it arrives in cinemas this April.

The post The tension reaches a breaking point in the all-star WWII epic ‘Pressure’ appeared first on SpicyPulp.

One night in his near-empty London tower block, screenwriter Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with mysterious neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal), puncturing the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam finds himself drawn back to his childhood home, where his parents appear to be living just as they were on the day they died 30 years ago.

Since 2011, filmmaker Andrew Haigh has marked himself out as a filmmaker to watch, and his work has laid bare the human spirit of nuisance and emotion time and time again with pictures such as 45 Years and Lean on Pete. Now Haigh fully opens himself up as an artist with the bold and thought-provoking All of Us Strangers, and this work is a showcase for the talents of a director who is unafraid to separate himself from his subject matter. A simple story of two lost souls who find a connection together, All of Us Strangers is like a beautiful haiku set to life as it examines one man’s present and past and his bold desire to be true to himself. To experience this film is to experience a transcendental dream of emotion, and its unexpected narrative will have you in tears by its final scene. This is a sublime and primal piece of direction from its filmmaker and its piece of pure expression.

Taking the centre spotlight of All of Us Strangers is British thespian Andrew Scott, and the renowned actor delivers the best performance of his career. As Adam, a burnt-out and lonely screenwriter, Scott is desperately longing for connection, and in his isolation, begins to lose himself to the memories of his youth as he begins to relive his past again. Scott’s performance is incredibly true to the emotional needs of the character, and Scott fully immerses himself into Adam and his conflicted, often hurting mind. Through Adam, audiences get a picture of the human experience and the moments and dreams that make it up. Scott’s performance is an expression of pure truth, and he becomes a symbol of our need for love and connection in a world that is so uncontrollable, and his performance is utterly heartwarming.

Playing off of Scott’s Adam is rising star Paul Mescal as Harry, another lonely soul whom Adam comes into contact with and who eventually becomes his lover and partner in a whirlwind romance that quickly sweeps them up. Mescal’s Harry is the romantic to Adam’s realist, and with his desire to experience every sensation, he quickly breaks Adam out of his rut. But this unabashed freedom quickly turns into a tornado of passion, and such levels of love can’t be contained forever. For his part, Mescal is incredibly brave in the role, and he delivers a committed and, at times, layered performance that will keep audiences pulled in. His performance definitely proves why he is tipped to be the next big thing, and he has the measure of a powerful actor at the head of his craft.

In All of Us Strangers, a huge measure of applause must be given to Claire Foy and Jamie Bell, who portray Adam’s mother and father. As the now-grown Adam travels back through memory and dream, he comes to communicate with his long-lost parents, and both Foy and Bell deliver a dual performance that elevates Scott’s position in the narrative and which helps to focus the direction of the story and gives emphasis to Adam’s own emotions and feelings. There’s an incredible honesty and nostalgia present in the dual performance of Foy and Bell, and you feel like they are truly a committed partnership as Adam’s parents, who, for this one single moment, are able to find a way to express love for their son one more time.

As a cinematic experience, All of Us Strangers is a beautiful piece of cinema to behold and its dreamlike ambience runs between the presence of both an artistic memory and a reflective ghost story. Light and sound come together to build an incredible ambience of feeling and emotion, and with its deep neon hues and 1980s-styled soundtrack, audiences will feel the nostalgia of the piece. The atmosphere of All of Us Strangers makes an incredible impression on the audience, and it elevates the emotion of the narrative displayed.

All of Us Strangers is a remarkable film that will catch viewers off guard, and its outstanding performances will stay with them even after the credits have rolled.
