This image released by Universal Pictures shows Benedict Cumberbatch as Colonel Mackenzie in a scene from"1917," directed by Sam Mendes. TORONTO -- Oscar-nominated "1917" production designer Dennis Gassner was sitting on the side of an Alaskan road in his vintage airstream trailer when director Sam Mendes implored him to ditch the next James Bond film.
Told with the illusion of a single take, and set during the First World War, the movie would hurl viewers into a race against the clock as two soldiers attempted to deliver a message that would stop a doomed attack. Those moments would've been a challenge to manufacture in any war film, but for Gassner the "1917" shoot became an intricate puzzle of long takes that were seamlessly blended together to create the illusion of that single shot.
