Apple Lands Steve McQueen’s Next Feature Film ‘Blitz’

EXCLUSIVE: In a competitive situation, Apple has landed Blitz, the next feature from Oscar-winning filmmaker Steve McQueen. He will write, direct and produce the film, which tells the stories of Londoners during the Blitz of World War II. It is set to begin filming later this year.

McQueen’s Lammas Park produces alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films, and Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer from New Regency. This reunites McQueen with New Regency, where he made the Best Picture Oscar winner 12 Years a Slave and 2018’s Widows. Blitz was developed and packaged by New Regency under McQueen’s first-look deal.
