Remember to breathe during this trailer for Sam Mendes' single-take war epic 1917
When last we saw a trailer for Sam Mendes’ WWI action-drama 1917, we didn’t know it would all unfold in one shot. Well, the illusion of one shot, as Alejandro González Iñárritu did with Birdman. Still, that’s plenty impressive when you’re working at this scale—1917 looks as gorgeous as it does epic, with two British soldiers braving bullets, bombs, and crashing planes in order to save 1,600 of their fellow fighters from sure doom. Mendes is making quite the return after one–two punch of James Bond flicks.
