Steve McQueen to write and direct ‘Blitz’ with Saoirse Ronan

[Jay]

Here for this but wish we knew what the plot was since this didn’t come along with casting news.

[Nolan62]

Sounds very intriguing! I want to hear more. And McQueen is a very interesting filmmaker.

[AceCheck]

Too bad for you because by the looks of it McQueen likes Boyega a lot.

Two potential cast members?

[Sanderus]

Denzel is a total opposite of Boyega. He's just a legend. He had talent, charisma and can play anything. This the range that Boyega will never reach.

That tweet has been posted in several threads over the last month. Hehehe!

Did someone compare Boyega to Denzel here? No, so what the hell are you going on about?

[tnb]

Hell yeah. Incredibly excited to see where he goes after Small Axe.

Me too! Still buffled how Emmys could ignore this masterpiece. I LOVE how he is always changing his focus even when I could somehow tell that I am watching a work of him when I am aware I do.
Very excited to get more details about this. If its indeed referring to the Blitzkrieg from WW2 there could be several perspectives this story is told and how given the wide range and interest of McQueen.

Please, Steve, work with Fassbender again

Lmao?

[Penny Lane]

I hope he has several good roles for women in this like he did in Widows!

"We discussed pending projects I'm doing. I'm doing a film called Blitz and we discussed that," he told the outlet. "Blitz is the one we're working on which we hopefully start some time in the autumn. It's about London, starting in 1940, this is what we're attempting to do and we'll see how it pans out."

[RayB]

If Fassbender doesn't get cast in this they have truly broken up.

Sir Steve McQueen

On the one hand, I'm glad he got the recognition, but also kind of surprised that he accepted it?

This. Thought he would be against the monarchy.

Same. I'm shocked!

[baerrtt]

Yes I thought I recalled him making some pointed anti monarchy remarks years back.

[Sliced Peach]

Very excited for this.

[EOLB]

It could be their priority next year if it's ready in time.
