The first pictures from BBC One's new adaptation of War & Peace have arrived.
The all-star cast is led by Downton Abbey's Lily James, who plays heroine Natasha Rostova, while James Norton and Paul Dano also feature as Prince Andrei Bolkonsky and Pierre Bezukhov.
This television version will condense elements of Leo Tolstoy's iconic 1869 novel about the Napoleonic French army's invasion of Russia into six episodes.
Jim Broadbent, Gillian Anderson, Rebecca Front, Aneurin Barnard, Brian Cox and Ade Edmondson will all feature in supporting roles.
It was recently confirmed that Lifetime, A+ E and History will all simulcast the limited series event.
The BBC has partnered up with the Us channels and The Weinstein Company on the new adaptation, which follows their previous 1972 series starring Anthony Hopkins and Rupert Davies.
War & Peace will air on BBC One this winter.

This year, The Great Escape celebrates its golden anniversary. To honor the 50th anniversary of that film’s release, we’ve compiled 50 interesting facts about the film, actors, the true story, the novel and more, and we’re giving two lucky North American readers the chance to win the anniversary blu-ray of the film.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment are proud to announce that The Great Escape will arrive on Blu-ray for the first time on May 7, 2013. Based on a true story, The Great Escape is “a motion picture that entertains, captivates, thrills and stirs” (Variety). In 1943, the Germans opened a maximum-security prison-of-war camp, designed to hold even the craftiest escape artists. By doing so, they unwittingly assembled the finest escape team in military history – brilliantly portrayed by Steve McQueen, James Garner, Charles Bronson, and James Coburn – who worked on what became the largest prison breakout ever attempted.
