Glorious 39, de Stephen Poliakoff

Je suis tombée sur l'info par hasard (si tant est que l'on peut appeler hasard le fait de se balader sur un site consacré à David Tennant ), et je pense que le prochain projet cinématographique de Stephen Poliakoff, produit entre autres par la BBC, et dont le tournage va commencer sous peu, mérite amplement son propre topic :

Stephen Poliakoff's feature film 1939, featuring stellar line-up of UK's finest acting talent, starts shooting

31.10.2008



Principal photography begins on Monday (3 November) on BAFTA-nominated Stephen Poliakoff's (Capturing Mary, Joe's Palace, Gideon's Daughter, The Lost Prince) Second World War thriller 1939.

The feature film will shoot on location in Norfolk and London for six-and-a-half weeks and is a talkbackTHAMES production in association with Magic Light Pictures, funded by BBC Films, the UK Film Council and Screen East.

Award-winning British actress Romola Garai (Atonement) takes the lead as Anne, alongside BAFTA-winning actor Bill Nighy (Notes On A Scandal, Love Actually), who plays her father Alexander.

They are joined by Oscar-winning actress Julie Christie (Away From Her, Finding Neverland) who plays the formidable Aunt Elizabeth, Eddie Redmayne (The Other Boleyn Girl) as Anne's brother Ralph and Juno Temple (Wild Child) as their younger sister Celia.

David Tennant (Doctor Who) plays family friend Hector, Charlie Cox (Stardust) stars as Anne's lover Lawrence, Jeremy Northam (Gosford Park) as the shady government operative Balcombe and the legendary Christopher Lee (Lord Of The Rings, Golden Compass) as Walter.

1939 is set between present-day London and the idyllic Norfolk countryside in the lead up to the Second World War.

At a time of uncertainty and high tension, the story is centred around the formidable Keyes family, who are keen to uphold and preserve their very traditional, English way of life.

The eldest sibling Anne (Romola Garai) is a budding young actress who is head-over-heels in love with Foreign Office official Lawrence (Charlie Cox).

Anne's seemingly perfect life begins to dramatically unravel when she stumbles across secret recordings of the anti-appeasement movement.

While trying to uncover the origin of these recordings, a tangled web of dark secrets begins to unfurl, culminating in the mysterious death of a dear friend.

As war breaks out Anne discovers the truth and escapes to London to try to confirm her suspicions, but she is caught and imprisoned and only then does she finally begin to discover the true extent to which she has been betrayed.

1939 is writer/director Stephen Poliakoff's return to the cinema after an absence of a decade since his previous feature films which included the critically acclaimed and multi-award winning Close My Eyes starring Clive Owen, Saskia Reeves and Alan Rickman.

Since then Stephen has directed a plethora of BBC television dramas, most recently the BAFTA-winning Capturing Mary, BAFTA-nominated Joe's Palace, the Emmy Award-winning The Lost Prince and Gideon's Daughter which won Golden Globes for actors Bill Nighy and Emily Blunt.

Stephen Poliakoff comments: "I'm very excited to be making this film about a period that has always fascinated me, the extraordinary machinations that went on in British society on the eve of war.

"It is truly thrilling to be making it with such a tremendous cast which combines some of the most exciting young talent in the country including Romola Garai, Eddie Redmayne, Juno Temple, Charlie Cox and David Tennant with such great names of the British film industry as Bill Nighy, Julie Christie, and Christopher Lee."

The film is produced by Emmy winner Barney Reisz (Elizabeth I) and Martin Pope (Lawless Heart, The Heart Of Me); and the Executive Producer is Lorraine Heggessey, CEO, talkbackTHAMES.

The behind-the-scenes team includes BAFTA-nominated Production Designer Mark Leese (Capturing Mary), Director of Photography Danny Cohen (The Boat That Rocked, Joe's Palace), Oscar-winning Hair and Make-up designer Jenny Shircore (Elizabeth: The Golden Age), BAFTA-nominated Costume Designer Annie Symons (Doctor Zhivago) and Line Producer Julie Clark (Whitechapel).

OMG !!!!!!! Romola Garai, Bill Nighy, Julie Christie, Christopher Lee, David Tennant et Jeremy Northam réunis dans un même film ! Et quel film ! J'en salive d'avance


PS : en farfouillant sur le net, j'ai vu que Hugh Bonneville était parfois cité dans le casting (article du Daily mail que je n'arrive pas à retrouver car la page est inaccessible pour le moment, et site officiel de HB : ), mais comme il n'est pas mentionné dans l'article de la BBC, je ne sais pas si l'info est correcte ou pas . Et je n'arrive pas à trouver de fansite ou de forum consacrés à l'acteur qui pourraient confirmer ou infirmer sa participation au film ...

Merci Mimidd pour ces infos

Yes!!! Que du beau monde et beaucoup de mes acteurs et actrices lambtoniens préférés dans cette future adaptation

Je suis avec toi sur ce coup-là, Mimidd! A cause du casting bien sûr mais aussi parce que j'ai beaucoup aimé les téléfilms de Poliakoff que j'ai vus jusqu'à présent. L'époque m'intéresse également. Et quand on me parle de "high tension" et de "very traditional English way of life", je ne saurais résister.

Hugh Bonneville complèterait cette distribution à la perfection, pourvu que ce bruit se concrétise.

Tiens c'est marrant je viens justement de découvrir Stephen Poliakoff il y a 2 ou 3 jours, en regardant un de ses premiers films, Caught on a Train (1980), avec à l'affiche, Peggy Ashcroft et Michael Kitchen. J'ai absolument adoré et ça m'a donné envie de découvrir ses autres ouevres.

Et avec en plus l'époque et la distribution en question, je ne résisterai pas, c'est certain. Très chouette!

Un petit article du Guardian consacré au projet, pas d'infos supplémentaires, malheureusement.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2008/nov/03/bbc-television

Oh mon dieu!!! Je viens de découvrir ce topic et après avoir lu la liste des acteurs de ce film, je meurs d'envie de le voir. Romola Garai, Bill Nighy, David Tennant, Christopher Lee et Jeremy Northam dans un film de Stephen Poliakoff!!! Je crois que je n'ai jamais été aussi excitée à propos d'un film depuis Atonement.

D'ailleurs certains journaux commencent déjà à comparer les deux. Cf cet article du Daily Mail que j'ai trouvé sur Internet, qui dit par ailleurs que Hugh Bonneville fera également partie du casting.

Citation :

Romola Garai is preparing for war - again.

The actress, who starred in the wartime segments of Atonement, goes before the cameras next week in director Stephen Poliakoff's film 1939, set in the run-up to war as Churchill was arguing for battle, while Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain wanted to avoid conflict.

In the film, Ms Garai is an actress who happens to have been adopted by a powerful MP and his wife (Bill Nighy and Jenny Agutter). Eddie Redmayne and Juno Temple play their blood children.

Julie Christie appears as an aunt. 'They're an aristocratic family who are pro-appeasement,' producer Barney Reisz told me.

The film also features Charlie Cox, Hugh Bonneville, Jeremy Northam and Christopher Lee. 'It's full of spies and dirty dealings,' Reisz added.

Shooting on the BBC Films-Talkback Thames production will be in London and Norfolk. It will be released in cinemas next year.

Merci pour ces deux articles, Cat et Anne Elliot


@ Anne Elliot : il s'agit précisément de l'article que je citais dans mon post d'introduction, et auquel je n'arrivais plus à accéder. Est ce que quelqu'un aurait des infos supplémentaires sur la participation éventuelle de Hugh Bonneville à ce film ? Ce serait vraiment la cerise sur le gateau

j'ai trouvé ça sur un site de fan de Bill Nighy ... bon je ne suis pas très douée en anglais mais bon ....

Merci, mais je crois qu'il s'agit seulement d'une reprise de l'article du Daily Mail précédemment cité. J'aimerais bien savoir si une autre source mentionne Hugh Bonneville dans le casting de 1939

Remontage de topic ^^


Le film sortira le 20 novembre en Angleterre (je sais pas pourquoi je saute de joie, toujours aucune nouvelle pour ce côté ci de la Manche, mais c'est pas grave, je suis quand même contente )

J'en ai profité pour modifier le titre du topic, étant donné que le film a été rebaptisé.


Voici le synopsis du site de la BBC :

Citation :

Glorious 39 is a tense psychological thriller, from acclaimed director Stephen Poliakoff, about a young woman who uncovers dark secrets about Britain's relationship with Nazi Germany in the lead up to the Second World War.

In present day London a young man explores his family history, asking searching questions of his elderly cousins (Christopher Lee and Corin Redgrave). But as he asks more and more about a woman called Anne - are his motives as simple as they seem?

In the gorgeous summer of 1939, Anne (Romola Garai) seems to live a gilded life - a budding young actress, she's the adopted daughter of Tory grandee Alexander (Bill Nighy) and head-over-heels in love with Foreign Office official Lawrence (Charlie Cox). She discovers some innocent-seeming recordings of meetings - but as she begins to understand quite what her discoveries mean, a tangled web of dark secrets begins to unfurl. People who have come into contact with the recordings are threatened and even die. The innocent certainties on which her life has been based dramatically unravel and amidst a growing sense of menace and betrayal, she has to confront the bitter choice she will be forced to make.
