Kate Winslet set to tour Australia to promote upcoming biographical war film Lee

Kate Winslet is set to tour Australia later this year to promote her new movie that details the life of US war correspondent Lee Miller.

The Oscar winner stars and produces the upcoming film about ********* photographer Lee Miller (Winslet) whose singular talent and ferocious tenacity gave us some of the 20th century’s most indelible images.

Miller goes from a career as a model to enlisting as a photographer to chronicle the events of World War II for Vogue magazine.

Determined to document the truth of the ***** regime, and despite the odds stacked against female correspondents, Miller captured some of the most important images of the war, for which she paid an enormous personal price.

Winslet will embark on an *********** publicity tour in support of Lee in October.

Accompanying the 48-year-old will be producing partner Kate Solomon and Miller’s son Antony Penrose.

Lee also stars Andy Samberg as Life Magazine photographer David E. Scherman, Alexander Skarsgård as English painter Roland Penrose, Marion Cotillard as French Vogue fashion director Solange D’Ayen, Josh O’Connor as a young journalist and Andrea Riseborough as British Vogue Editor Audrey Withers.

The movie took eight years to make and, at one point, due to insufficient funding, Winslet paid the entire cast and crew’s salaries for two weeks.

Winslet said she was patronised by male executives when she was trying to get funding for the film.

“The men who think you want and need their help are unbelievably outraging. I’ve even had a director say to me: ‘Listen, you do my film and I’ll get your little Lee funded…’ Little! Or we’d have potential male investors saying things like: Tell me, why am I supposed to like this woman?”, she told Vogue.

During filming in 2022, the Titanic star slipped and injured her back on the first day of the ****** but pushed through.

A Sky Original Film, Lee will premiere in *** and Irish cinemas from September 13.

It is a directorial debut from acclaimed cinematographer Ellen Kuras.
