1917 stars George MacKay, Dean-Charles Chapman, Mark Strong, Andrew Scott, Richard Madden, Claire Duburcq, with Colin Firth, and Benedict Cumberbatch.
The film is produced by Neal Street Productions for DreamWorks Pictures in association with New Republic Pictures.
Universal Pictures will do a limited release of the film domestically in the UK on December 25 and wide on January 10, 2020.
Universal and Amblin Partners will distribute the film internationally, with eOne distributing on behalf of Amblin in the UK.
