In an interview with Vanity Fair, Mendes said: ‘It needed to be immersive and visceral.’

He added:  ‘From the trenches to the No Man’s Land, to the Open countryside, orchards, farmland, bombed-out towns, woods, to even the rivers, the film bear witness to the staggering destruction wrought by the war. Yet it’s fundamentally a human story about two inexperienced and young soldiers racing against the clock.’

Nevertheless, the film -1917, starring Mark Strong, Claire Duburcq, Richard Madden, Andrew Scott, Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange) and Colin Firth is scheduled for release on December 25 and plan on expanding wide from January 10, 2020.
