Focus Features has released a brand new photo of Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill from the upcoming film DARKEST HOUR. The film also stars Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, Stephen Dillane, Ronald Pickup, and Ben Mendelsohn.

Driected by Joe Wright (“Atonement,” “Hanna,” “Pride & Prejudice,” “Anna Karenina”), the first poster and official trailer will debut tomorrow.

Focus Features will release DARKEST HOUR in select cities on November 22, 2017.

A thrilling and inspiring true story begins on the eve of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.

The film is written by Anthony McCarten (“The Theory of Everything”).
