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

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 adore Winston Churchill. This film will be a joy to watch.

Thanks for posting. I like Gary Oldman, and was surprised to see him in the title role. It's not a character you would expect him to play. The make-up job is awesome. I had to keep trying to find Gary Oldman in Churchill's face. The movie is now in my "saved" DVD Netflix queue.
I noticed there's another movie that hasn't been released yet titled "Churchill". This one stars Brian Cox as Churchill. Last year the movie "Churchill's Secret" was shown on British TV, and on PBS here. Michael Gambon played Churchill. It takes place in 1950's, and tells the story of Churchill's stroke.

Certainly looks like a good film. My wife and I are big fans of BBC murder mysteries and comedies. Cracking good stuff. A lot of these films and tv series seem to deal though with a different Britain. Primarily one before WW2, during it or shortly after. In it I see a kind of .... longing in British film makers and tv producers and writers to hark back to a different time in England when it WAS England as it once was. A strong, united kingdom governed by a people that valued liberty, despite it's class system, a people who gave so much to the world in art, literature, science , good old common sense and a stiff upper lip! Not the rapidly descending Islamist, politically correct madhouse it's becoming.
