Exclusive New Character Posters For Joe Wright’s Darkest Hour

Gary Oldman underwent a fairly radical transformation to play Winston Churchill in forthcoming World War II drama Darkest Hour – and with the film fast approaching the hour of its release date, we've managed to get our hands on some rather handsome world exclusive new character posters. Take a look below.

First up is Oldman himself as Churchill, with his hours of make-up on full display.

Next up is Kristin Scott Thomas as Churchill's wife, Clementine.

Here's Ben Mendelsohn as King George VI.

And here's Lily James as Churchill's personal secretary Elizabeth Nel.

Finally, here's Game Of Thrones' Stephen Dillane as the foreign secretary, Lord Halifax.

Joe Wright is behind the camera for this one, focusing on Churchill's early years as the British prime minister, navigating the bleak early phases of World War II.

Darkest Hour arrives in UK cinemas on 12 January, following an awards-qualifying run in the US starting 22 November this year.
