Deadline reports that McQueen’s next film is “Blitz,” a film about the Blitz of London in World War II, with Saoirse Ronan leading the ensemble cast.

‘Occupied City’ Trailer: Steve McQueen’s 4-Hour WWII/Amsterdam Doc Arrives Christmas Day

“12 Years A Slave” filmmaker Steve McQueen didn’t set out to make back-to-back WWII movies, his upcoming WWII/Amsterdam doc, “Occupied City” which premiered at Cannes earlier this year, and his Apple TV+ WWII drama “Blitz,” but it just ended up happening that way. “You plant seeds, and some come to fruition, and others don’t,” he told Variety earlier this year.

‘Occupied City’ Review: Steve McQueen’s 4-Hour Doc Leads A Tour Of Nazi Atrocities Through Amsterdam [Cannes]

Somewhere in the third hour of Steve McQueen’s documentary “Occupied City,” the camera slowly dollies left over a list of names in glowing green print on a black background, enumerating the thousands of Jews deported from Amsterdam during the Nazi occupation. A moment of silence in the audio mix announces this as an important shot, an occasion to consider the enormity of the loss that this four-and-a-half-hour film itemizes with near-comprehensive diligence.

Steve McQueen’s WWII Pic ‘Blitz’ Adds Harris Dickinson, Stephen Graham & Erin Kellyman

British filmmaker Steve McQueen (“Small Axe,” “12 Years A Slave”) has started production in London on his next feature, “Blitz.” The war drama focuses on the 1940-1941 bombardment of England during WWII by Germany’s Luftwaffe, a defining moment for the United Kingdom as they endured the bombing campaign for eight months suffering major civilian casualties. The drama is a collaborative partnership between McQueen’s Lammas Park, Apple Studios, New Regency, and Working Title.

One of those potential films may allow the filmmaker to tackle crime in San Francisco during the swinging 1960s, placing Spielberg directly in the cop action genre.

‘Alex Wheatle’ Is The Weakest Strike In Steve McQueen’s ‘Small Axe’ [Review]

One of 2020’s few joys has been Steve McQueen’s Amazon anthology “Small Axe,” a series telling, in some instances for the first time, the stories of the Black Brits who faced oppression during the ’60s and ’70s. While “Mangrove” touted empowerment through self-representation, “Lovers Rock” through music, and “Red, White and Blue” through reform from within, “Alex Wheatle” calls for literature as a gateway to freedom.

This late fall has been a treat because we’ve received a new Steve McQueen (“12 Years A Slave,” “Widows“) week every week for the last three weeks; when does that happen? And they are all part of McQueen’s new five-film anthology series, “Small Axe,” based on the Jamaican proverb, “If you are the big tree, we are the small axe.” Three films have debuted at the New York Film Festival earlier this fall, and those three have now aired on Amazon Prime Video.

It is a film or is it TV? That’s the micro-debate happening on Film Twitter right now over Steve McQueen‘s new project “Small Axe.” Often, these arguments are so byzantine, they’re not worth spending a breath on and we peace out on the whole topic and let others fight over it. But Steve McQueen’s “Small Axe” seems simple: Yes, it’s premiering on Amazon Prime and yes, it’s vying for Emmy consideration in the end, not the Oscars.

A West Indian proverb holds, “If you are the big tree, we are the small axe.” “Lovers Rock,” the first film made available of Steve McQueen’s Amazon miniseries “Small Axe,” first interpreted the saying as a metaphor for the joyous spirit in the Black British community. But his newest installment, “Mangrove” swings a different emphasis on the rebellious phrase.
