The Weatherman’s War: Scott and Fraser Star in Pressure

A taut WWII drama centered on Captain James Stagg, the meteorologist who advised delaying the Normandy landings, as Andrew Scott’s wary weatherman clashes with Brendan Fraser’s Eisenhower. Adapted from David Haig’s stage play by Anthony Maras, Pressure is a lean 100-minute chamber piece that foregrounds weather, science and leadership, delivering tense, quietly gripping performances and a timely meditation on truth, expertise, and decision under pressure.

When the Forecast Decides D-Day: A WWII Weather Thriller

THR’s review of Pressure deems Anthony Maras’s WWII drama a taut, cerebral thriller about the weather forecast that could decide D-Day. Focusing on meteorologist Dr. James Stagg (Andrew Scott) and his clashes with Irving Krick and Eisenhower (Brendan Fraser) over whether to delay the invasion, the film—based on David Haig’s stage play and using archival footage—builds sustained tension across the 72 hours leading up to the operation, with Scott delivering a standout, nuanced performance. Release date: May 29, 2026.

He also discusses UK poster controversy and says he plans to pursue more ghost-story projects after finishing The Mummy.
