Lionsgate has released some early artwork for the upcoming World War II drama Journey’s End ahead of its debut at the 2017 BFI London Film Festival. Thefilm features a stunning all-star cast, including Sam Claflin, Asa Butterfield, Toby Jones, Tom Sturridge, Stephen Graham and Paul Bettany. Check out the first UK quad poster below.
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 (Sam 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 (Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham, Tom Sturridge) and their cook (Toby Jones) attempt to distract themselves in their dugout with talk of food and life before war. They are joined by Raleigh (Asa 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.
Saul Dibb(Suite Française, The Duchess) directs from a screenplay by Simon Read. Journey’s End will open in UK cinemas on February 4th, 2018.
