Actors Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson, who’ve won a brace of Oscars each, will headline the cast of “The Great Escapers,” which Pathé will present at the upcoming European Film Market in Berlin.
Inspired by true events, the film will tell the story of Bernard Jordan’s (Caine) escape from his care home in 2014 to attend the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in France. Jordan’s adventure, spanning 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Jackson), and the story celebrates their love without sentimentality.
The film will be directed by BAFTA nominee Oliver Parker (“An Ideal Husband”) from a script by BAFTA nominee William Ivory (“Made in Dagenham”). Principal photography is scheduled for June this year.
“No one can resist a script that makes people both laugh and cry – I loved Billy’s writing and the story itself, so inspirational and so moving, seemed...

Ecosse Films has announced the official production start of their upcoming Diana (formerly titled Caught in Flight) and revealed the first official look at Naomi Watts as the iconic Princess. You can check out the image below.
Diana will be directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall), and is based on a screenplay by Stephen Jeffreys. Joining Watts are fellow Brits Naveen Andrews as Dr Hasnat Khan, Douglas Hodge and Juliet Stevenson.
“I’m excited and honoured to be playing the role of a truly remarkable woman,” Ms.Watts said from the set of the film, “who had such a positive and profound impact in so many ways.”
Diana is described as a compelling portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales during the final two years of her life. It charts how finding true personal happiness allowed her to achieve her defining successes, as she evolved into a major international campaigner and humanitarian.

We’ve just been sent the press release and the first official image of Naomi Watts playing Princess Diana which seems to have changed its name from Caught in Flight to now simply ‘Diana‘ which seems to make a lot more sense.

It charts how finding true personal happiness allowed her to achieve her defining successes, as she evolved into a major international campaigner and humanitarian.Check out the image below and press release below that.

Haven't we seen it all before? Is there any point in film and television revisiting the Brontës, Austen and Dickens? Well, yes, especially if the renderings of the British classics are as innovative as the two set for imminent release – Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights and Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre
Christine Langan, who runs BBC Films, recently felt obliged to defend the latest cinematic adaptations of novels by Charlotte and Emily Brontë – Cary Fukunaga's Jane Eyre, which opens early next month, and Andrea Arnold's Wuthering Heights, due for release in November – against accusations of deja vu. "People," Langan sighed, "will be saying, 'Why the hell are they doing all that over again?'"
They are doing it, I'd suggest, because it needs to be done. Certain books – by the Brontës and by Jane Austen and Dickens – are indispensable to us and accompany us through life. When we first read them,...

U.K based Ecosse Films' Douglas Rae and Robert Bernstein are teaming with Silverwood Films's Lynette Howell (Blue Valentine) on the book-to-film, 20-million dollar adaptation of Sebastian Faulks' On Green Dolphin Street. Written by Becoming Jane scribe Kevin Hood, Faulk's tale is set in New York, Washington and a brief spell in Moscow, follows the love affair of Mary, an English rose, and Frank a Chicago journalist. Mary, who is married to diplomat Charlie, soon becomes torn between the love of these two men. A marriage drama with adultery set in the 1950's reminds of Revolutionary Road, but this sounds slightly more ambitious - paralleling the conflicts of a love triangle with the inner (JFK vs. Nixon battle) and outer (Cold War) issues faced in the U.S. Faulks saw his Charlotte Gray made into a film, and the author recently penned a James Bond Ian Fleming...

As the great and good are quickly ushered out of London's salubrious Royal Opera House, shoved into the nearest waiting limo and whisked to their respective after-show parties, the time has come to tally and take stock of the big winners at this year's British Academy Film Awards.
As with all of the major films awards of 2010 thus far, the big battle at this year's Baftas was between James Cameron's Avatar and his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker and the big winner on the night was Ms Bigelow who blew away all the competition with a grand total of six awards including (surprisingly but brilliantly) Best Film and Best Director. Avatar, meanwhile, was relegated to two relatively minor awards for Best Production Design and Best Special Effects.
Quite how this will affect the runners and the riders for this year's Oscars remains to be seen but it...

Walker gets up to speed with movies
Following in the footsteps of Bruce Weber (Let's Get Lost), Anton Corbijn (Control) and Sam Taylor-Wood (Nowhere Boy), I hear the latest photographer to move from stills to the film camera is the extravagant Tim Walker. Known for his lavish locations and modern baroque style, Walker is shooting his film debut, a short called The Lost Explorer, based on a novel by Patrick McGrath. The film will star Toby Stephens and Jessica Hynes, right, as well as 14-year-old newcomer Olympia Campbell as an adolescent girl who discovers an otherworldly explorer at the end of her garden.
Walker's film is a new project for producers Rory Aitken and Ben Pugh, the team behind the impressive urban drama Shifty. After the stripped-down realism of that film, this richly imaginative work represents a new challenge for the producing duo: one scene calls for a room filled with hundreds of canaries.
