Brendan Fraser To Star As Dwight D. Eisenhower In D-Day Movie ‘Pressure’ About The Historic Normandy Landings


Oscar-winner Fraser joins Andrew Scott in the WWII film which gets underway in September.

Fraser joins BAFTA winner Andrew Scott, who as we revealed on Friday will star as Britain’s Chief Meteorological Officer James Stagg in the ticking-clock drama about the tense days leading up to the Normandy landings. Britain’s Chief Meteorological Officer James Stagg (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 (Fraser).
