Fortitude

Based on the extraordinary true events of Operation Fortitude, the film explores the elaborate Allied deception campaign that misled Nazi intelligence ahead of the D-Day landings. Cinesite’s London team is delivering a range of visual effects to bring this “war of wits” to life, including the creation of large-scale digital environments, period-accurate military assets, and the seamless integration of the famous “Ghost Army” of inflatable decoys.

Directed by Simon West (Con Air, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider) and starring Matthew Goode (The Imitation Game), Ed Skrein (Jurassic World: Rebirth), Jordi Mollà (Mobland), Alice Eve (Star Trek Into Darkness), Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon), Art Malik (True Lies), Lukas Haas (Inception), Adrian Topol (Franz + Polina), Emilio Sakraya (Sixty Minutes), Freddy Carter (Shadow And Bone), Paul Anderson (Peaky Blinders), Ben Kingsley (Gandhi) and Nicolas Cage (Con Air).
