Pressure was originally a stage play written and starring David Haig who played the lead role of Britain’s Chief Meteorological Officer James Stagg, whose job it was to monitor the UK’s unpredictable weather conditions that could ruin the Normandy invasion.
Filming of Pressure took place on Camber Sands at the beginning of October. Locals watched on, as the extras were in full force as soldiers landing in Normandy.
The film version of Pressure is due to be released in late 2025 or early 2026. Andrew Scott takes the lead role as Stagg, Brenden Fraser as Eisenhower and Damian Lewis as Field Marshall Bernard Montgomery.
Anthony Maras is writer/director with Haig as co-writer, produced by Studiocanal.
