THN have received news direct from Metrodome, as they’ve just announced the forthcoming release of SUMMER IN FEBRUARY on 14 June 2013 in the UK and Ireland, and it’s set in Cornwall! I’m intrigued to see what they develop here, as a Devon-lad myself, a bit of the Cornish coast can be quite stunning so I’m expecting sweeping cinematography and nothing less!
Directed by Christopher Menaul with a screenplay written by Jonathan Smith based on his 1995 novel, SUMMER IN FEBRUARY stars Dan Stevens (Downton Abbey), Dominic Cooper , Emily Browning and winner of the Evening Standard and the Critics’ Choice Theatre Awards for Best Actress for her performance in the Young Vic’s A Doll’s House; Harriet Morahan. The film is the intimate, enchanting true story of young, vibrant souls navigating their way through love, passion and friendship in the picturesque landscape of early twentieth century England.
SUMMER IN FEBRUARY focuses on the wild and bohemian Lamorna Group, dominated by the charismatic AJ Munnings (Dominic Cooper). The incendiary anti-Modernist Munnings, now regarded as one of Britain’s most sought-after artists, is at the heart of the complex love triangle, involving the young aspiring painter Florence Carter-Wood (Emily Browning) and Gilbert Evans (Dan Stevens), the land agent in charge of the Lamorna estate. Renowned painter Laura Knight is played by Hattie Morahan.
True – and deeply moving – the story is played out against the timeless beauty of the Cornish coast, in the far West of England, beyond the reach of London and its stifling conventions.
