Coinciding with its UK premiere at the London Film Festival, Lionsgate has released a poster and trailer for director Armando Iannucci’s (In the Loop) take on the classic Charles Dickens novel The Personal History of David Copperfield. The film stars Dev Patel in the title role alongside a cast that includes Peter Capaldi, Hugh Laurie, Tilda Swinton, and Ben Whishaw; take a look here…
From birth to infancy, from adolescence to adulthood, the good-hearted David Copperfield is surrounded by kindness, wickedness, poverty and wealth, as he meets an array of remarkable characters in Victorian England. As David sets out to be a writer, in his quest for family, friendship, romance and status, the story of his life is the most seductive tale of all.
The Personal History of David Copperfield is set for release in 2020.
