The Daily Mail reports that Eddie will be in Stephen Poliakoff’s next film, 1939 where he will play the son of Bill Nighy and Jenny Agutter. The film is set at a time when Churchill wanted to fight, while Prime Minister Chamberlain wanted to avoid conflict altogether. Romola Garai will play the lead, as an actress who has been adopted by Eddie’s parents. It will also star Juno Temple, Julie Christie, Charlie Cox, Hugh Bonneville, Jeremy Northam and Christopher Lee. It is set to be released by BBC Films sometime next year.
