ADAPTATION
Period set delights for you today, beginning with photos arriving from the sets of Armando Iannucci'sbig screen version of THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD based on Charles Dickens’
semi autobiographical chronicle of the life of the iconic title
character! They show Dev Patel who takes the role of the titular hero. The story follows Copperfield in the 1840's as he
navigates a chaotic world to find his elusive place within it. From his
unhappy childhood to the discovery of his gift as a storyteller and
writer, all the while on a journey full of life, colour and humanity.
Dickens actually modelled the character after himself. You can also see Aneurin Barnard in the photos,
Aneurin Barnard, who is no stranger to period set projects, also stars
who is in the cast next to Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie, Ben Whishaw, Morfydd Clark, Anthony Welsh and Rosalind Eleazar!
1ST 'PETERLOO' TRAILER
FROM NEW MIKE LEIGH DRAMA
There's also the first trailer for another historical drama waiting to hit cinemas November this year - Mike Leigh's PETERLOO which charts the
This is Leigh's first movie after 2014 drama Mr Turner
1819 Peterloo Massacre when British forces attacked a peaceful pro-democracy rally in Manchester where government backed cavalry charged into
At least 15 innocent people were left dead in the massacre
a peaceful crowd of 80,000 that gathered to demand democratic reform. Maxine Peake, our dearest Nico Mirallegro and Rory Kinnear lead the cast!
Any movie based on Dickens' works is a celebration. (I see that Hugh Laurie from "House" is also in the cast.I didn't like him, but I liked the concept of the serial that focused on Diagnostics).
There's another famous David Copperfield - the magician. There'll probably be a movie on him too (unless there's already one and I'm not familiar with).
I haven't heard about Copperfield the magician in a very long time, is he still alive? :) Hope you did not miss BBC's series DICKENSIAN from about two or threee years ago, it was lovely.
We actually stopped by the Dickens' Museum in London so Jason could catch a peek, but didn't end up going in to explore because we were short on time and were parked in a tow away zone. Maybe if we ever go back, we'll scoop out some time to actually browse around inside for a bit.

Looking forward to "David Copperfield" and its stellar cast!
ReplyDeleteShould be fun even with the hindiwashing of the lead role.
DeleteI will watch anything with hats like that involved!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they're difficult to balance while walking :)
DeleteDavid Copperfield should be good. I've been seeing Tilde Swinton in a few movies. Interesting that she'll be in this one.
ReplyDeleteand she literally looks different in each role.

ReplyDeleteare you saying Dickens isn't worth your car getting towed away? :)
DeleteNot in a foreign country when we had a plane to catch shortly after.
