Andrew Scott, Fresh Off Emmy Nomination, Set To Star In Studiocanal & Working Title D-Day Movie ‘Pressure’ About The Historic Normandy Landings
Scott, fresh off his Emmy nomination for Ripley, is to star in the WWII film shooting later this year.
In the true story, BAFTA winner Scott, also coming off rave reviews for All Of Us Strangers, is set to play Group Captain James Stagg, the Allies’ Chief Meteorologist whose job it was to inform Supreme Commander General Eisenhower of weather conditions that would make-or-break their Normandy invasion. Britain’s chief meteorological officer James Stagg (Andrew Scott) is called upon to deliver the most consequential forecast in history, locking him into a tense standoff with the entire Allied leadership. With only his trusted aide Captain Kay Summersby to confide in, and haunted by a catastrophic D-Day rehearsal, the final decision rests with Supreme Allied Commander Dwight D. Eisenhower.
