"Why on Earth do you keep poking holes in our plan?" Netflix has unveiled a new trailer for a quirky WWII comedy called Operation Mincemeat, from filmmaker John Madden (Killshot, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Miss Sloane). This was released in Warner Bros in the UK earlier this year, and Netflix is releasing it in the US this summer (both in theaters and streaming). During WWII, two witty intelligence officers use a corpse and false papers to try to outwit German troops. They were recruited to hep pull the attention away from a planned invasion in 1943, so that the Allied forces could gather their troops. Colin Firth stars as Ewen Montagu, Matthew Macfadyen as Charles Cholmondeley, plus Johnny Flynn as Ian Fleming (yes, that Ian Fleming - indeed he was in the war!), with a cast including Kelly Macdonald, Penelope Wilton, Jason Isaacs, Lorne MacFadyen, Alex Jennings, Rufus Wright, Mark Gatiss, Hattie Morahan. This looks like a clever twist on the typical WWII espionage thriller, with some wittiness to spice things up. ›››
