Andrew Scott lands next lead movie role in UK-set thriller
As a dedicated gamer and history enthusiast, I am beyond thrilled to learn about Andrew Scott‘s latest role as James Stagg in the upcoming war thriller “Pressure.” Having grown up watching World War II documentaries and playing strategy games based on those historical events, my fascination with this era knows no bounds.
Andrew Scott secured a major part in the upcoming war thriller “Pressure,” building on the success of his powerful performance in “All of Us Strangers” by Andrew Haigh.
Before the momentous D-Day invasion in 1944, a movie portrays the authentic tale of the three critical days leading up to this historic event in World War II. This pivotal moment saw the Allied forces preparing for the liberation of France and Western Europe from Nazi occupation.
In the three-day period prior to D-Day, almost everything was set up perfectly, but there was still one crucial factor missing: the British weather.
Scott takes on the role of James Stagg, Britain’s top meteorologist. Faced with the responsibility of making the most critical weather prediction in history, Stagg finds himself locked in a tense confrontation with the entire Allied high command. The unfavorable conditions he foresees could potentially ruin the largest-ever seaborne invasion, while any delay might allow the Germans to intercept the plans through their intelligence network.
With trusted advisor Captain Kay Summersby by his side for counsel, and weighing heavily on his shoulders from a disastrous D-Day rehearsal, Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower faces the crucial moment of making the ultimate decision. The outcome will determine not only the war’s progression but also the lives of countless millions. (Paraphrased)
Anthony Maras, who also contributed to the screenplay with David Haig, is planning to commence filming of the movie “Pressure” in the UK come September.
Scott was recently nominated for an Emmy award in recognition of his acting skills portraying the cunning Tom Ripley in the Netflix series “Ripley,” which is based on Patricia Highsmith’s classic novel “The Talented Mr. Ripley” published in 1955.
I’m excited about the star-studded cast of the upcoming black-and-white noir limited series created by Steven Zaillian. I can’t wait to see Dakota Fanning in action, who’s also been nominated for an Emmy this September. Additionally, Johnny Flynn and Eliot Sumner are joining the lineup, making this production even more intriguing!
Pressure is yet to receive a release date.
