LOS ANGELES, Oct 24 — Lionsgate has released a new trailer for upcoming World War One drama Journey’s End.
The film is based on R.C. Sherriff’s play and novel of the same name and focuses on life in the trenches during the war.
Directed by Saul Dibb, the film stars Sam Claflin, Asa Butterfield, Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham, Tom Sturridge, and Toby Jones.
The synopsis of the film reads: “Based on RC Sherriff’s play and novel of the same name, Journey’s End is set in March 1918 as C-Company, led by a war-weary Captain Stanhope (Claflin) arrives in northern France to take its turn in the front-line trenches. Told that a German offensive is imminent Stanhope drowns his fears in whisky whilst the officers (Bettany, Graham, Sturridge) and their cook (Jones) attempt to distract themselves in their dugout with talk of food and life before war. They are joined by Raleigh (Butterfield), a young new officer fresh out of training excited about his first real posting, and a chance to serve under Stanhope. Raleigh’s naivety serves as a stark contrast to the other men’s impending fear as the tension rises and the attack draws ever closer.”
Journey’s End is set for release on February 2, 2018.
