Sam Claflin, Asa Butterfield in UK Trailer for WWI Film 'Journey's End'

“We won’t last five minutes if the Germans attack…” Lionsgate UK has unveiled a new trailer for a WWI drama titled Journey’s End, which just premiered at the Toronto and London Film Festivals this fall. The film is based on a seminal British play about WWI, set mostly in a dugout in Aisne, France in 1918. The story is about a group of ragged British officers, led by the mentally disintegrating young officer Stanhope, who are awaiting their fate in this wretched place. The three officers are played by Paul Bettany, Stephen Graham, and Tom Sturridge, and the cast includes Sam Claflin as a Captain, plus Asa Butterfield as a young new officer; as well as Toby Jones, Robert Glenister, Oliver Dimsdale, and Miles Jupp. This looks like a solid, emotionally draining, riveting drama that is once again about the brutal horrors of war, specifically the trench warfare of WWI. I really want to see this, what a fantastic trailer. Take a look below. ›››
