We wait for a good long while to see something from Steven Spielberg’s adaptation of the celebrated novel and play War Horse, and we get one image, posted previously, and then a few hours later, four more trot into the arena, and these are something special.

Here we have our first look at the man and his equine pal, Jeremy Irvine as Albert and Joey the horse in question. Previously both were missing from the trio of Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, and Patrick Kennedy we saw earlier and the images of the two of them together are particularly inspired.

The film opens in the UK on the 6th of January next year, so expect a lot more of this sort of thing, careful now…

Images can clicked.
