‘Blitz’ Trailer: Saoirse Ronan Searches for Her Son During London Bombings in Steve McQueen’s World War II Drama

As a cinephile with a deep appreciation for historical dramas and masterful storytelling, I am utterly captivated by the trailer for Steve McQueen’s “Blitz.” The man behind the poignant 12 Years a Slave has once again graced our screens with a powerful narrative that promises to be a testament to human resilience.


The initial trailer for Steve McQueen’s “Blitz,” a historical drama set amidst the bombing of London by Nazi Germany during World War II, has been unveiled.

In a different take:

McQueen, fresh off his last feature film “Widows” in 2018, has taken on writing, directing, and producing duties for “Blitz”. This filmmaker from Britain is renowned for his work on the 2014 movie “12 Years a Slave”, which was awarded the Best Picture Oscar and also secured him a nomination for Best Director.

The film titled ‘Blitz’ will make its first appearance on October 9, gracing the opening night of this year’s BFI London Film Festival. In a press release, director Steve McQueen expressed: “‘Blitz’ is a movie that embodies the spirit of Londoners and their resilience during the Blitz. It delves into the authentic depiction of life in London while focusing on the tale of a working-class family striving to be reunited amidst wartime.

McQueen teamed up with Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner from Working Title Films, along with Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan, and Michael Schaefer of New Regency, to create “Blitz” at Lammas Park.
