Darkest Hour picked up a bunch of BAFTA nominations this week, as it heads into awards season as one of the frontrunners. Joe Wright's Winston Churchill film is picking up steam. 'Darkest Hour' director Joe Wright and Gary Oldman tell us about making one of the year's best films, the challenges of playing Winston Churchill, and more. Why Joe Wright's 'Darkest Hour' Might Be Gary Oldman's Brightest Moment Shares The Toronto Film Festival continued this week with the North American premiere of Joe Wright's Darkest Hour ; a drama about the earliest days of Winston Churchill's prime ministry, when the freshly anointed politician was forced to navigate the waters of a peace treaty with Hitler. The Darkest Hour may not be a factual, moment by moment account of what took place in those critical few days before the British people in their little boats managed to pull off one of the most unbelievable rescues of all time, but it sure has all the rich detail one would expect to read about in the most authoritative historical account. But Joe Wright’s Darkest Hour is so breathlessly tense that at times you may forget how well the Dunkirk evacuation went.
You may even forget the rest of Churchill’s triumphs. New actors have joined Gary Oldman in Darkest Hour, which Focus Features will release next year. Combined with Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk (about the actual events) and Lone Scherfig’s Their Finest (about a clumsy propaganda film made about the situation), Darkest Hour completes a triangle that offers a reasonably comprehensive perspective regarding one of the most celebrated military actions of World War II.
From Joe Wright, the acclaimed director of “Atonement,” “Pride & Prejudice” and “Anna Karenina,” comes this stirring biopic of one of the defining figures of the 20th century. In his latest film, “Darkest Hour,” Wright returns once again to World War II, but this time from the perspective of one of Britain’s most famous politicians, Winston Churchill.
Academy Award®-nominee Gary Oldman stars as Winston Churchill, the great British Prime Minister who rallied his nation in defiance of Hitler and the Nazis during World War II.
