Empire's latest issue isn't all about Star Wars, and to prove it, here's an image from a long time ago but closer to home. We've had a teaser trailer showing them in action, and now here's a closer look at a WWII-era Toby Jones, Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon and company standing to attention in their Dad's Army fatigues. Old England isn't done with these boys on Home Guard.
Left to right in this identity parade of misfits, triers and high-street heroes are Jones' blustering bank manager Captain Mainwaring; Nighy's vague Sergeant Wilson; Tom Courtenay not panicking (despite the position of Mainwaring's cane) as the Sudan, Boer and Western Front veteran Lance-Corporal "Mad Bomber" Jones; Bill Paterson as dour Scottish undertaker Private Frazer; Gambon controlling his bladder as the doddery Private Godfrey; Blake Harrison as stupid boy Private Pike; and Daniel Mays as the spivvy Private Walker.
Directed by Oliver Parker and scripted by his Johnny English Reborn cohort Hamish McColl, this Dad's Army shifts the setting to pre-D-Day 1944 and ups the stakes with an invasion in the offing and a spy in the town's midst. Only this magnificent-ish seven stand can prevent the war effort from suffering a mighty catastrophe. The film will finally have permission to speak in UK cinemas on February 5 next year.
