The film is commissioned by 14-18 NOW and Imperial War Museums in association with the BBC and Executive Produced by House Productions.
14-18 NOW and Imperial War Museums, in partnership with the BBC, have commissioned a new film from acclaimed director and filmmaker Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit trilogy) to tell the story of the First World War.
The film will be shown as part of the 2018 BFI London Film Festival, with a UK broadcast premiere on BBC One for Armistice 2018.
A ‘making-of’ documentary will accompany the BBC One screening, with behind-the-scenes footage, interviews with Peter Jackson and an in-depth look at the creative and technical process behind the work.
