Sam Mendes WWI Epic ‘1917' Ready to be Seen

September 13, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Sam Mendes‘ 1917 (Universal 12.25) will be test-screened next week in the east coast, a mere three months after shooting wrapped in the U.K. It’s no doubt one of the very last films left to to be screened this year before top 10 lists could be worked on by critics and end-of-year awards start being given out. An AFI bow is expected for “1917”, alongside the other 2 buzzed films left to be seen, Jay Roach’s “Bombshell,” and Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women.” Not many are ready to add Rob Marshall’s “Cats” as a potential contender, especially after the negative reaction the trailer got back in July. Ditto “Queen & Slim,” which I am told is a cinch to premiere at AFI.
