A sparkling cast stand out in the first trailer for “Lee”, a British biographical drama and the feature film debut for director Ellen Kuras. Based on the 1985 biography “The Lives of Lee Miller” by Antony Penrose, the film stars Kate Winslet as war journalist Lee Miller. The stellar supporting cast includes Marion Cotillard, Andrea Riseborough, Alexander Skarsgård, Andy Samberg, Josh O’Connor, Noémie Merlant, and James Murray. After premiering at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, “Lee” is now set for a theater release later this year.
The trailer gives us a pretty broad look at the movie’s scope as it chronicles Lee Miller’s journey from being a model to becoming a photographer for Vogue magazine where she covered the horrors of World War II, often from the frontlines. The period detail looks great from the costumes to the war sequences. And the ensemble looks to fit their roles well. I’m looking forward to giving this one a shot.
“Lee” releases in theaters on September 27th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
Keith & the Movies 
Have been waiting for this! Lee Miller one of my heroines and I’ve read the book 🙂
This looks really good. I hope it does her story justice.
I do want to see this not just because of the subject matter and cast but also to show support for Ellen Kuras who is one of the great cinematographers ever.
We can see some of that in the trailer. What a great eye.
MUST SEE
I really like the look of it.
Almost feel like I’ve seen this, having just watched Civil War, where some note about that one says the main character (Kirsten Dunst) was named after this Lee. So, maybe.
She sure was. That’s one of the first things I thought about when I saw this trailer
