PRESSURE – Official Trailer – The fate of the free world hangs in the balance as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) and Capt. James Stagg (Andrew Scott) face an impossible choice, launch the D-Day invasion or risk losing World War II altogether

Definitely a subject thats a bit underexplored in film. So I’m excited there. But Idk about Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower. It just doesn’t feel right.

Damien Lewis just looks like he belongs in WW2.

I don’t even generally like these types of movies, but if it has Brendan Frasier, I’ll watch it. The guy is brilliant.

The appetite for American war movies has likely changed a lot in the last few years.

my grandfather was in the US Army Weather Service during WW2. Nice to finally see weathermen portrayed as the heroes 🙂

*Group* Captain James Stagg. The equivalent USAF rank is Colonel.
There’s something depressing about seeing actors I think of as young play Ike and Monty.

From the producers of Darkest Hour and the interns from the makeup department of Reagan.

“Risk losing ww2 altogether” yeah no. Neither Germany nor Japan had the capability of winning in June 1944. Hell Germany lost when they invaded the Soviet Union and Japan lost at the battle of midway

How long until we get an entire movie just on a boat captain driving for 2 hours to Normandy beach? The WWIICU is getting a little stale.

We need more movies about wars other than WW2. Any number of battles in WW1, Inchon or the battle of the Chosin Reservoir in Korea, the Tet offensive or Khe Sahn in Vietnam are under explored.

I live right by where Exercise Tiger happened and it’s crazy how few people know about it. This will be interesting.

I feel like Eisenhower (5 ft 10) wasn’t as physically imposing as Brendan Fraser (6 ft 4)
Incredible. Now trailers have a mini-trailer at the beginning. For People that have not the attention span to sit through a… trailer.

I’m so used to seeing the beach landings through Saving Private Ryan, it’s kinda jarring to see them again in better definition

DDay was so massive that you could probably make a compelling movie about every decision that was made for that operation.

Ideal drive in double feature should be Dunkirk and this.

ooh, I wonder which choice they’ll make!

My grandpa landed at Normandy, never once spoke of it to my grandma, my father, or myself. He was a really gentle man. I don’t know if I could carry that the way he did.

Gonna be real, if you’d have asked me for a good choice to play Eisenhower, I don’t think Brendon Fraser would have come to mind.
But he def looks like he fits the role well.

Not sure this is really the time to be releasing American war movies, but alright. I guess they are more counting on the history aspect. That being said, I can never bet against Fraser.

I’m sure it’s going to be a fine movie, but it’s hard to buy Fraser as Ike with his build and voice.

Fraser sounds nothing like Eisenhower.
