Directed by Saul Dibb (The Duchess), the motion picture features a screenplay by Simon Reade based on the play and novel by R.C. Sherriff.
The cast includes Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games), Asa Butterfield (Hugo), Paul Bettany (The Avengers: Age of Ultron), Toby Jones (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy),
Tom Sturridge (1984), and Stephen Graham (Snatch).
Journey's End premiered on Broadway in 1929 and ran 485 performances. It was revived for a short Broadway run in 1939 and again in 2007 starring Boyd Gaines, Jefferson Mays, Hugh Dancy, and Stark Sands.
The play, based on Sherriff's own experiences in the First World War, is about a group of British soldiers living together in a cramped trench in France while fighting the last great German offensive in March 1918.
