British film The Lost King, a film based around the discovery of the remains of Richard III under a car park in England, has been given an official release date. The film, led by Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan, will hit UK cinemas from 7th October. Stephen Frears directs.
The official synopsis is as follows:
In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester. The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with scepticism by experts and academics. THE LOST KING is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country’s most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England’s history.
Pathé will distribute the film in the UK & Ireland, France and Switzerland and will handle sales throughout the rest of the world.
Expect a trailer soon.
