‘Pressure’ trailer has Brendan Fraser as Eisenhower, and focuses a lot on D-Day’s weather
What do you do before ordering hundreds of thousands of men into an invasion of Europe? What kind of pressure does that put on a leader? That’s the big question behind “Pressure,” a new film charting Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s stressful hours leading up to the launch of D-Day. It’s also about the weather.
“Pressure,” adapted from writer David Haig’s 2014 play of the same name, arrives this spring and just released its trailer. The new film stars Brendan Fraser (“The Whale,” “George of the Jungle”) as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe Eisenhower himself, overseeing the last 72 hours before Operation Overlord commences. With the weight of the war on his shoulders, he needs everything to go right. “The fate of the war, thousands of lives, hinge on this,” the actor from “The Mummy” says of the invasion. He also needs a weather forecast. Enter Group Captain James Stagg (Andrew Scott), a meteorologist who sees bad storms coming in across the English Channel and warns that the invasion could be swept away. Cue high tensions, explosive blow ups and debates over meteorological findings.
