I’m currently up in Northern California right now on a business trip. Internet connection isn’t working to my advantage here unfortunately, they got some kind of block or barrier that’s been keeping me from surfing the web freely. So I’m going to try to wrap this evening quickly and continue tomorrow with one info after another and try to catch up to whatever I’ve been missing out on lately.
Real quick now, according to Variety,… Helena Bonham Carter (Terminator Salvation) Jennifer Ehle, Guy Pearce, Derek Jacobi, Timothy Spall and Michael Gambon have joined the cast of THE KING’S SPEECH by director Tom Hooper. Already starring Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush in this period drama, written by David Seidler, about the young King George VI who was the father of the current Queen Elizabeth II, “as he reluctantly assumes the throne after his brother, Edward, abdicates.
Considered unfit to rule and cursed with a nervous stammer, the unprepared monarch turns to an unorthodox speech therapist, Lionel Logue. The two men form an unlikely friendship as King George finds his voice and leads the country into war against the Nazis.”
THE KING’S SPEECH will be distributed by TWC
