There’s a new trailer for Steven Spielberg’s latest out today and if you were in any doubt as to the inspirational nature of this one then feast your eyes on this…

Jeremy Irvine is the man Spielberg picked out to lead his adaptation of Michael Morpurgo’s novel and while the horse gets top billing it’s hard to imagine a more enticing career move than heading up War Horse.

Peter Mullan, Emily Watson, David Thewlis, David Kross, Stephen Graham, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, and Patrick Kennedy join Irvine and the trailer we’ve already seen sets the scene pretty well. It’s War! and horses are thrown into the fierce fighting across the battlegrounds of Europe and this story sees a man signing up to save his beloved horse from certain death.

Here’s the new trailer,
