“Up there with a few men, we can do it.” Pathe UK has released their own official UK trailer for the Notre-Dame On Fire movie from France, dramatizing the tragic fire at Paris’s Notre Dame cathedral in 2019. The French title is just Notre-Dame Brûle and it’s supposed to tell a story “from inside the Notre-Dame de Paris fire of April 2019.” Made by the same director from Seven Years in Tibet and Enemy at the Gates, Frnech filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud who has stay away from Hollywood for a while now. The film retraces how heroic men & women firefighters put their lives on the line to accomplish this awe-inspiring rescue. The ensemble cast features Samuel Labarthe, Jean-Paul Bordes, Mikael Chirinian, Jérémie Laheurte, Chloé Jouannet, and Pierre Lottin. It’s set to open in the UK this July after first premiering in France this March, but there’s still no US plans yet. I guess they’re waiting to see how well it plays in the UK first then will set a date. This doesn’t look half bad, I must say. Impressive work turning this event into a movie.

Here’s the new UK trailer (+ poster) for Jean-Jacques Annaud’s Notre-Dame On Fire, from YouTube:
