“You have secrets. Many… that you’ll never share.” Roadside has revealed another trailer for Lee, a biopic movie about the famed war photographer Lee Miller starring Kate Winslet as Lee. It’s set for a release later in September – which is why they’re giving it a big marketing push now. This first premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival last year, and also played at AFI Fest. The story begins in the South of France, 1938, where Lee Miller is vacationing with a few of her closest friends who are artists, poets, confidants. She was a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during WWII. Her singular talent & unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century’s most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler’s private bathtub. It stars Alexander Skarsgård, Andrea Riseborough, Marion Cotillard, Josh O’Connor, Noémie Merlant, Samuel Barnett, and Andy Samberg as her photographer friend David E. Scherman who joined her on the front. “Lee lived her life at full throttle, for which she paid a huge emotional price.” This trailer finally features the iconic “Hitler’s bathtub” scene in it, which is one of her most famous photos from the war. Get a look below.

Lee, the directorial feature from award-winning cinematographer Ellen Kuras, portrays a pivotal decade in the life of American war correspondent and war photographer Lee Miller (played by Kate Winslett). Miller’s singular talent and unbridled tenacity resulted in some of the 20th century’s most indelible images of war, including an iconic photo of Miller herself, posing defiantly in Hitler’s private bathtub. Lee Miller had a profound understanding and empathy for women and for the voiceless victims of war. Her images display both the fragility and ferocity of the human experience. Above all, the film shows how Miller lived her life at full-throttle in pursuit of truth, for which she paid a huge personal price, forcing her to confront a traumatic & deeply buried secret from her childhood. Lee is directed by the American cinematographer / filmmaker Ellen Kuras, making her feature directorial debut after directing for TV, including episodes of “The Umbrella Academy” and “Inventing Anna”. The screenplay is written by Liz Hannah and Marion Hume & John Collee; from a story by Lem Dobbs and Marion Hume & John Collee. Adapted from the biography “The Lives of Lee Miller” by Antony Penrose. This initially premiered at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival last fall. Roadside will debut Lee in select US theaters starting September 27th, 2024. Who wants to watch?
