James Bond director Sam Mendes talks Kingsman actor Mark Strong through a scene ...

James Bond director Sam Mendes was back on the set of his latest project - World War I epic 1917 - on Wednesday, this time with one of the film's stars, Mark Strong.

Mendes, 53, fresh from his Tony Award win this weekend, was seen for another day at Govan Graving Docks, Glasgow to direct the much-anticipated film, which also stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard Madden, George MacKay and Colin Firth.

The film follows two British soldiers over the course of a single day at the height of World War I, and will hope to follow in the footsteps of other successful war films, such as Saving Private Ryan and Dunkirk.

The acclaimed director was filming outside an abandoned building, which looked to be somewhat derelict - perhaps to replicate the damage done during the so-called Great War, which ended in 1918.

Sam wore all-black as he paced around the set, chatting to Mark, 55, who was dressed in army garb.
