Here’s a first look at the brand new trailer for BLITZ.
Sir Steve McQueen’s film follows the epic journey of George (Elliott Heffernan), a 9-year-old boy in World War II London whose mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) sends him to safety in the English countryside. George, defiant and determined to return home to his mom and his grandfather Gerald (Paul Weller) in East London, embarks on an adventure, only to find himself in immense peril, while a distraught Rita searches for her missing son.
Apple Original Films’ BLITZ will debut in select theaters November 1, 2024 before premiering globally on Apple TV+ November 22, 2024.
Written and directed by Academy and BAFTA Award-winning McQueen, the film stars Academy and BAFTA Award nominee Ronan and newcomer Heffernan, with Harris Dickinson, Benjamin Clementine, Kathy Burke, Weller, Stephen Graham, Leigh Gill, Mica Ricketts, CJ Beckford, Alex Jennings, Joshua McGuire, Hayley Squires, Erin Kellyman and Sally Messham rounding out the cast. McQueen’s Lammas Park produces alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films, Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer for New Regency, with producers Anita Overland and Adam Somner.
McQueen reunites with production designer Adam Stockhausen (“12 Years a Slave,” “Widows”), costume designer Jacqueline Durran (“Small Axe”), and composer Hans Zimmer (“12 Years a Slave”), with cinematographer Yorick Le Saux (“Little Women”) and makeup designer Naomi Donne (“No Time to Die”).
The BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express is thrilled to announce that this year’s Opening film will be MANGROVE, directed by the multi-award-winning visual artist and filmmaker Steve McQueen, starring Letitia Wright, Shaun Parkes and Malachi Kirby. The film will receive its European premiere on Wednesday 7th October as part of the Festival’s innovative 12-day offering which takes the entire Festival out to cities around the UK, and with many films across programme also available for virtual premieres at home.
Marking 50 years since the events depicted in the film, MANGROVE tells the true story of the Mangrove 9, the group of Black activists who clashed with London police during a protest march in 1970 and their highly publicised trial that followed. The trial was the first judicial acknowledgment of behaviour motivated by racial hatred within the Metropolitan Police. MANGROVE is co-written by Steve McQueen and Alastair Siddons.
The film is one of five films from Small Axe, a drama anthology which comprises five original films created by Steve McQueen for BBC One.
MANGROVE Director, Steve McQueen said: “I couldn’t be happier that MANGROVE will open this year’s BFI London Film Festival. Although the themes are universal, MANGROVE is a London story. It may have happened fifty years ago, but it’s as relevant today as it was then.”
This year, Festival audiences will be invited to book tickets to preview the film for free at venues across the UK on Wednesday 7th October ahead of its broadcast on BBC One this autumn.
BFI London Film Festival Director, Tricia Tuttle said: “This new series from Oscar-winning director and BFI Fellow Steve McQueen could not be more timely in the context of recent global protests around anti-Black racism and inequality, and McQueen has been a powerful voice in challenging the status quo and demanding inclusion within the British film industry. His Widows also opened the 62nd BFI London Film Festival in 2018 and we have never had the same filmmaker open the LFF twice in such a close time frame; that’s both a testament to the urgency of the film and potency of his filmmaking.”
MANGROVE and eleven other highly-anticipated new films from the programme will screen in previews across the UK, in partnership with a UK-wide cinemas network, marking the most audience-accessible version of the Festival to date.
As previously announced, the majority of this year’s LFF will be delivered as virtual premieres in a programme of over 55 films that offer audiences the opportunity to see the excellent new cinema from around the world from the comfort of their own homes, as well as Screen Talks with major filmmakers and actors and a brand new Virtual Exhibition of XR and Immersive Art.
Small Axe has been executive produced by Tracey Scoffield and David Tanner for Turbine Studios and Steve McQueen for Lammas Park. Mike Elliot is producing for EMU Films with Turbine and Anita Overland. The executive producers for the BBC are Lucy Richer, Senior Commissioning Editor for Drama and Rose Garnett, Director of BBC Films. Amazon Studios is co-producing within the US. BBC Studios are the international distributors and are handling global television sales.
Small Axe will premiere on BBC One and iPlayer this autumn and air on Amazon Prime Video in the US.
The 64th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express takes place from Wednesday 7th October-Sunday 18th October 2020. The full Festival programme will be announced at an online launch on Tuesday 8th September 2020 and all tickets will be bookable via venue partners.

Based on a 1953 robbery of Southwest Bank in St. Louis, the film was shot on location in 1958 with some members of the St. Louis Police Department, local residents, and bank employees playing the same parts they did in the actual robbery attempt.
From Academy Award Winner Steve McQueen*, the director of 12 Years a Slave, and from Gillian Flynn, the writer of Gone Girl, comes a powerful thriller with a stellar cast, including Oscar® Winner Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki and Cynthia Erivo.

The complete delight of seeing Viola Davis in the role of an elegantly-dressed, wealthy wife whose sheltered life is suddenly upended by the death of her crime boss husband, played by Liam Neeson, is one of the pleasures of crime thriller WIDOWS. The Oscar-winning actress so often seen in roles as mothers or working-class women, here plays a svelte, elegant, pampered wife, a woman dressed in tasteful expensive clothes and clutching her little dog as she leaves her luxurious Chicago penthouse apartment to spend her day shopping or lunching. It isn’t the way we usually see her but Davis pulls it off with commanding style.
WIDOWS focuses on four women with little in common other than that their husbands were members of a criminal team killed in the commission of a heist. Now faced with threats from another criminal operation, the widows band together for their own heist, in Steve McQueen’s woman-centric crime thriller. But what starts out as a highly entertaining but straightforward crime thriller, morphs midway into something that is also deeper, more meaningful.
WIDOWS does all this while never dropping its driving pace or suspense of the top-tier crime thriller it is. Oscar-winning director Steven McQueen (12 YEARS A SLAVE) co-wrote the script with Gillian Flynn (GONE GIRL), as a updating of 1980s British TV series WIDOWS, in which overlooked women take charge of their own lives. McQueen and Flynn moved the story to Chicago in the present and shot the film on location. The film also features an outstanding cast who craft fully-rounded characters who draw us in.
That is the premise for a terrific crime thriller, and most films would be satisfied with that. But on top of that thriller, WIDOWS explores the issues of widows left struggling after their husband’s death, issues of race and class, and of female empowerment. But even that is not enough for this outstanding film, which then adds in a political campaign between a young white politician (Colin Farrell), the son of a powerful, bullying Chicago political boss (Robert Duvall) in a tight aldermanic race with a black man, Jamal Manning (Brian Tyree Henry), the leader of another crime ring looking to expand his power into the political.
Veronica Rawlings (Viola Davis) knew her husband Harry (Liam Neeson) was involved in crime but knows nothing else about his business. She also knows nothing of their finances. At first, newly-widowed Veronica is the classic picture of a pampered wife shielded from the real world and practical matters by her protective husband . Flashbacks establish their loving relationship but now alone, Veronica’s grief and vulnerability are conveyed effectively by Davis, delicately clutching her little dog with a dazed, helpless expression. When her husband is killed, her world comes crashing down, flattened not just by her grief but the the jolt of finding she is nearly broke. On top of that, thugs are threatening her, demanding the 2 millions dollars her late husband stole from them, money burned up in the deadly shoot-out that killed him and his crew.
Desperate, Veronica hits on a plan to steal the money, with the help of the other widows of the men in her husband’s criminal team, using plans for a new heist her late husband left behind. When she reaches out the other widows, Veronica find they too are in financial difficulties. Linda (Michelle Rodriguez) is a Latina mother of two small children who discovers that the small shop she runs has been mortgaged by her late husband to loan sharks, who quickly take it all. Blonde-haired Alice (Elizabeth Debicki), a second generation Polish immigrant, was an abused wife under the thumb of her husband Florek (Jon Bernthal), a woman who believes her beauty is all she has to offer the world. Left penniless, her mother (Jackie Weaver) urges her daughter to take up work as a call girl, an idea the usually submissive Alice finds unsettling. The fourth member of the team is Belle (Cynthia Erivo), a hard-working single mother from the projects, who takes any and all jobs she can get, who was Linda’s babysitter and friend as well as a woman of remarkable resourcefulness.
Viola Davis is fabulous as the take-charge Veronica, a force unleashed by her personal tragedy, but all the cast get their chance to shine, creating memorable, distinctive characters who speak to the real world. Elizabeth Debicki may have found her break-out role as Alice, a woman who has an awakening to her own worth and intelligence. Cynthia Ervivo makes a strong screen debut and Rodriguez adds another strong role to her already considerable resume.
All of the characters are complex, and Liam Neeson gets one of his meatier, if small, parts of recent years. Likewise, Colin Farrell and the legendary Robert Duvall deliver compelling, nuanced work as Jack and Tom Mulligan, a father and son locked in a toxic relationship built around political power. Brian Tyree Henry plays the enigmatic Jamal Manning, Jack Mulligan’s African American political opponent for alderman of their majority-black ward, but a man from the same violent crime world as the late Harry Rawlings.
WIDOWS is a film that has it all – a smart script, driving crime thriller energy, memorable characters and something to say about the world we live in.

Shakur Estate trustee Tom Whalley and Amaru Entertainment, the company created by Afeni Shakur to release her son’s posthumous projects, announced today that Nigel Sinclair’s White Horse Pictures and Jayson Jackson will team up to produce a fully authorized documentary with Amaru on the life of acclaimed hip-hop artist, writer and poet Tupac Shakur.
The film will be directed by Academy Award-winning director, Steve McQueen (12 YEARS A SLAVE) and produced by Jayson Jackson (WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE?) and White Horse Pictures’ Nigel Sinclair (THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – The Touring Years) and Nicholas Ferrall, together with Shakur Estate Trustee Tom Whalley. Gloria Cox, Tupac Shakur’s aunt and Afeni Shakur’s only sister, will executive produce along with White Horse’s Jeanne Elfant Festa.
Meanwhile Lionsgate will release ALL EYEZ ON ME this summer. The film chronicles the life and legacy of Tupac Shakur, including his rise to superstardom as a hip hop artist, actor, poet and activist, as well as his imprisonment and prolific, controversial time at Death Row Records. Against insurmountable odds, Shakur rose to become a cultural icon whose career and persona both continue to grow long after his passing.
Directed by Benny Boom and Produced by LT Hutton. Starring Demetrius Shipp Jr. as Tupac Shakur. Also starring Danai Gurira, Annie Ilonzeh, Jamal Woolard, Dominic L. Santana, Kat Graham and Jamie Hector. In theaters everywhere June 16, 2017.
STEVE MCQUEEN says:
“I am extremely moved and excited to be exploring the life and times of this legendary artist. I attended NYU film school in 1993 and can remember the unfolding hip-hop world and mine overlapping with Tupac’s through a mutual friend in a small way. Few, if any shined brighter than Tupac Shakur. I look forward to working closely with his family to tell the unvarnished story of this talented man.”
TOM WHALLEY
“Tupac’s timeless message resonates today as strongly as it did when I first discovered him in 1990, possibly more so. His legacy is unfortunately seen now through the refraction of the headlines, the controversy, and the tragic way his life ended. With this film, we will show the artist and the young man who existed beyond the news. I have an obligation to both Tupac and Afeni Shakur, to make sure this project becomes realized. In the final year of her life, Afeni and I spoke often of her desire to have her son’s true story be told. We are very excited to be working with the talents of Steve McQueen, Jayson Jackson and Nigel Sinclair.
Together, with the team we have assembled, I am honored to have the opportunity to bring the documentary Tupac started in 1996 to life.“
GLORIA COX
“I am happy to see this project come to life. This was something that my nephew (Tupac) was very passionate about creating in 1996, and my sister (Afeni) since before her passing this last May. It has been a long journey to get here.
I feel like we have a team she (Afeni) would be very pleased with. It has never been our intention to rewrite the story of Tupac. Our goal has always been to tell the true story, which has never been done before in such a complete way. My sister always said to me, ‘We are not in the business of defending Tupac. Our job is to allow him to be seen in the most complete way, so his actions, his choices, and his words will allow him to speak for himself.’ I believe this film will do exactly that.”
JAYSON JACKSON AND NIGEL SINCLAIR
“We are proud and grateful to The Estate for inviting us to the team to help produce this film with the incredible Steve McQueen. We hope to make a film that explores all of Tupac’s talent and creativity, as well as his singular personality. We’ve got more than 2 decades of perspective now, and we hope to make a film that people can look back on in another 5 decades and understand his contribution to all of art, music, and culture. Most of all, we hope to bring to our audience, insight into his perspectives, and what it was like to be sitting inside his world and the world he grew up in.”
White Horse’s Cassidy Hartmann will serve as co-executive producer. Marc Ambrose (THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK – The Touring Years) will serve as supervising producer. The documentary will be produced with the full cooperation and the assistance of The Shakur Estate, and financed and distributed by Amaru Entertainment.
White Horse Pictures is engaged as the worldwide sales agent on the documentary.
Interscope Records, the label that released the majority of Tupac’s catalog, and Universal Music Publishing Group will provide help and full support to the production. Both companies are divisions of Universal Music Group,
Tupac Shakur is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip hop artists of all time. His albums have sold more than 75 million copies, and Tupac’s music has created an enduring and intense legacy across cultures all over the world.
Though his recording career lasted just five years, Tupac Shakur is one of the most popular artists in history, having sold over 75 million records worldwide. Over half of his eleven studio albums have sold in excess of three million copies. Two of his releases, 1996’s All Eyez On Me and his Greatest Hits collection, have been certified Diamond, with sales of over 10 million copies each. In December 2016, it was announced that Tupac Shakur would be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the first solo hip-hop artist to be recognized for inclusion. The ceremony took place in Brooklyn, New York on April 7, 2017 and included a musical tribute from Snoop Dogg, Alicia Keys, T.I.. Alongside his musical career, Tupac also found success and critical acclaim as an actor, starring in films Juice, Poetic Justice, Above The Rim, Gridlock’d, and Gang Related.
Tupac’s life and legacy continues to impact and influence culture today, from a groundbreaking performance via hologram at the 2012 Coachella Music and Arts Festival to a spoken word appearance on Kendrick Lamar’s critically acclaimed 2015 To Pimp A Butterfly. In addition, the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, established by his late mother Afeni, provides arts education to children through camps, workshops, scholarships, and other programs.
