Steve McQueen’s latest movie starring Saoirse Ronan features his proudest moment ever on set
Exclusive: Blitz direc⭕tor Steve McQueen shares the scene he's mos🍌t proud of filming in his new World War 2 drama

Steve McQueen returns to the big screen with Blitz, a Second💛 World War drama about a mother's🎃 quest to reunite with her missing son amidst the devastation of '40s London – but it was a scene about collective protest that he found the most powerful to film.
In one of the movie's early scenes, the BBC comes to tꦺhe munitions factory where Rita, played by Saoirse Ronan,🔜 is working. She beautifully sings a song for a morale-boosting broadcast around the nation, until the other women workers seize the moment to call for the government to open up the city’s underground stations and provide shelter for its citizens.
"The proudest day on set I ever had was that day with those 450 women and – I’ve never had that – the chemistry, the energy," McQueen tells 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Total Film in our final issue out on Thursday, October 10, which features 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gladiator 2 on the cover. "You could taste it."
Blitz follows Ritﷺa's young son George (Elliott Heffernan) after he goes missing on his journey to be evacuated from London to the countryside, and both mother and son's perilous journeys across the city in an attempt to bring their family back together. The cast also includes Stephen Graham, Harri𒊎s Dickinson, and Paul Weller.

Blitz is released in theaters on November 1 and follows on Apple TV Plus on November 22. And you can read more about it and a whole lot else besides in the final issue of Total Film when it hits shelves and digital newsstands on Th🐻ursday, October 10.
