Saoirse Ronan will lead “Shame” and “Widows” director Steve McQueen’s World War II epic feature “Blitz” for New Regency and the Apple TV+ service.
The film tells the stories of a group of Londoners during the aerial bombing of the British capital. McQueen is writing, directing and producing the film to shoot later this year with Ronan to co-star alongside a yet to be revealed ‘unknown newcomer’.
McQueen most recently directed the feature documentary “Occupied City” which dealt with Amsterdam during World War II. Ronan is currently in cinemas with the murder mystery caper film “See How They Run”.
