Darkest Hour - Official Trailer 1 (Universal Pictures)

Best video trailer I have ever seen.

And, yes, this might be a repeat post.

That said, if a movie trailer ever deserved a second post...this is it.

Churchill awakened a nation to an existential threat once over 75 years ago.

He just might do it again.

God seems to operate in the most confounding ways...using the most unusual people.

Churchill...and the Trump train come to mind.

Gary Oldman is a fine actor...and it appears he has knocked this one out of the park.

Based on the trailer alone, Gary Oldman should win an oscar! He is Churchill!

Oldman has always been a fine character actor. But this role is the best ever.

This will immortalize him.

Many ads for this movie on the local stations. It looks to be a very good one. “Don’t interrupt me while I’m interrupting you.”

Thanks, RR

Thanks for posting. I was aware of the pending movie on Dunkirk, but I had not seen this.

Looks like part of this movie was actually filmed on location in the “Cabinet War Rooms”, an armored bunker complex in central London. Fascinating place to visit.

I agree. Great actor, and if they let him do it correctly, should do just that.

I thought Albert Finney was great as Churchill in “The Gathering Storm”.
