New US Trailer for 'Railway Children' Remake of a UK WWII Classic | FirstShowing.net". www.firstshowing.net. 18 August 2022. There’s good acting from the kids, even if the scripting is a bit simple, such as the basics of dealing with other school bullies, and when they chance upon injured American soldier Abe ( KJ Aikens) – who’s escaping from Military Police – the racism he encounters feels more like a lecture than a plot point.

Lily is a bit of a tomboy type, who gives as good as she gets, while when Ted is asked to introduce himself to Annie, he chirps, “Adolf!”, so there’s a fair bit of humour where it counts. The Railway Children Return was announced on 6 May 2021. [6] [10] Like its predecessor film, scenes were shot in and around the countryside of the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in West Yorkshire, [11] with filming beginning on 10 May 2021 [12] and taking between six and eight weeks.

If you haven’t seen the original movie, then it is on BBC iPlayer for four weeks from today, but I would still have liked to have seen it on the big screen, and at a decent time of day. What a shame. And today’s group: Lily (Beau Gadsdon), Ted (Zac Cudby), Thomas (Austin Haynes) and Pattie (Eden Hamilton).

Well, there are three plot points to conclude at the end of the new film. I won’t go into detail about them, obviously, but when you have a film that’s just a too-short 95 minutes end-to-end, you could have extended this another 15-20 minutes by showing each of these stories panning out, but no… Another option in that section was “It was showing in 3D”. Well, The Railway Children Return is certainly NOT in 3D, and doesn’t need to be. Mitchinson, James, ed. (12 May 2021). "Lights, cameras, Oakworth: shots of the new Railway Children".
