This looks fantastic. It might actually get me to a theater for the first time in 10 years
I’m going tomorrow. I can’t wait!
The trailer is heartbreaking. So many of those lads died, and for nothing.
Ill be seeing this on the big screen tomorrow night :-)
Thanks for posting. Several theaters are showing, in my area.
Keep us informed, please.
Will NEVER click on NYT link.
I will make a date to see this. At the old family farmstead in Grey County, ON, I recovered letters written to my Uncle from someone he knew who trained in England and then went on to serve in Mesopotamia (Iraq) during that war (he survived and then served as an Ontario MPP).
Wow. Mind blowing to see 100 year old film brought to life. Thanks for posting the article.
Here is a link to the full film trailer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IrabKK9Bhds
I’m sure that a big part of the disconnect re WWI for those without immediately family ties to it is the rather unreality of the old BW footage of the time.
That trailer is amazing and has the potential to introduce poignant realism to something that seems but dry history to many.
Thanks for letting us know about this.
Wow. Just watched the trailer. I doubt it will be shown near us, but I hope it comes on tv. I am amazed at how the changes of adding color and slowing the film so they move naturally changes the entire thing. Thank you for sharing!

The day not half over and ten thousand slain,
And now there’s nobody remembers our names
And that’s how it is for a soldier
I, too, hope it'll be on TV as I'm recovering from some surgery right now and can't go to my theater.
I love all history, my two special interests being pre-Revolution Tsarist Russia.......plus WW1 focusing on The Great War's aviation action.
My late father-in-law was a Doughboy in WW1...and served in the trenches in France. There's a special place in Heaven for these departed young warriors caught up in a horrible war.
If this film is ever on TV, hope someone pings me !

the war that killed Europe’s future.
How extraordinary! Peter Jackson is a master of attention to detail. These men, so many, so young. I must see this.
This looks really interesting.
