EXCLUSIVE: Fresh off his Emmy nomination for Ripley, the in-demand Andrew Scott has been set to lead cast in Studiocanal and Working Title‘s upcoming D-Day movie Pressure, which we revealed earlier this summer.
In the true story, BAFTA winner Scott, also coming off rave reviews for All Of Us Strangers, is set to play Group Captain James Stagg, the Allies’ Chief Meteorologist whose job it was to inform Supreme Commander General Eisenhower of weather conditions that would make-or-break their Normandy invasion.
The decision-making was critical in the fate of the war and the course of history. Anthony Maras (Hotel Mumbai) will direct the ticking-clock thriller, which is due to start shooting in the UK this September.
Additional casting is underway, with Studiocanal handling world sales. Olivier award-winner David Haig and Maras wrote the screenplay based on Haig’s critically lauded play, which ran in London’s West End before going on to be performed for the late Queen Elizabeth II and world leaders to mark the D-Day 75th anniversary in 2019.
