1917 World Premiere

Barry Parker • Dec 05, 2019

It's the hotly-anticipated World War One epic by Sam Mendes.

An absolute honour to have been invited to the red-carpet premiere of the brand-new film, 1917, at ODEON Luxe in Leicester Square on Tuesday 4th December 2019.

The event offered a dazzling carpet display with guests including Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Scott, Colin Firth, Richard Madden and Director Sam Mendes, this film premiere was something i just couldn't miss!

1917 is an epic World War I drama, following the journey of two young British soldiers, Blake and Schofield, who are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers – Blake’s own brother among them.

It was a honour to have received a personal invitation. Thank you to the lead men of 1917 - Lance Corporals Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) for looking after me.

The film is a MUST see and is out in January 2020.
