Gary Oldman as Churchill in New Darkest Hour Trailer

Web Desk (September 29, 2017): A new trailer for Darkest Hour, a new biopic of wartime leader Winston Churchill, has been released – and Gary Oldman looks the spitting image of the British prime minister.

The much anticipated biopic film will look to depict one of the most highly contested and complex character roles in modern cinema, and also features Ben Mendelsohn (Rogue One), Lily James (Baby Driver),Stephen Dillane (Game of Thrones), and Kristin Scott Thomas (Gosford Park). But it’s the LEON actor’s portrayal of the eccentric leader that has got tongues wagging – already hailing his performance as an early contender for an Oscar award. Check out Oldman’s stunning transformation in the official trailer below.

Previously the politician has been portrayed by a huge variety of actors, including Richard Burton, Albert Finney, Timothy West, Peter Sellers and Michael Gambon.

John Lithgow recently put in a noteworthy – and Emmy-winning – portrayal of the PM in Netflix drama The Crown, but Oldman who has been praised for his spot-on character acting in the past, looks like he could claim the title of the best depiction of Winnie yet.
