Sabaton is taking their latest record The War To End All Wars to the silver screen with their upcoming The War To End All Wars movie. According to Sabaton, the movie is currently in post-production and was made in collaboration with Yarnhub Animation Studio. All we know so far is that the movie is coming in 2023 and that a short animated teaser is available here. And given Sabaton's usual penchant for grandiosity, a movie based on The War To End All Wars really isn't shocking.
"We premiered an early version of this movie to journalists during a preview session for our latest album, The War To End All Wars, at the Royal Military Museum in Brussels," said Sabaton's Pär Sundström. "Witnessing their reaction to it was priceless – they were speechless – so we decided to take it to the next level and push the boundaries even further for a global audience."
"When Sabaton asked us to go beyond anything we had produced before and jointly create a film for their new album, we were filled with excitement and trepidation," added David Webb of Yarnhub. "It was a massive undertaking that required new people, technology, and skills. But we couldn't miss the opportunity. We often say our mission is to harvest goosebumps, and our work with Sabaton has always been the most successful in that regard.
"It's been two years in the making, but after spending many late nights and weekends in meetings with the band, the end result is something unique. A new way to listen to the album; a deeper understanding that helps the viewer experience the bravery and tragedy that was the inspiration for Sabaton's latest masterwork."
