Category: Movies Movie- THE LOST KING (4.30pm)

Two-time Oscar nominees Sally Hawkins (The Shape of Water), Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge) and director Stephen Frears (The Queen) join forces, retelling the story of the historian who found the lost remains of England’s King Richard III… underneath a Leicester carpark in 2012.

Graham Tuckett Stuff/ Waikato Times, “Sally Hawkins shines in a breezy, enjoyable and very watchable tale”

After 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 (Hawkins), 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.

Coogan co-wrote the script with Jeff Pope, both of whom previously worked with Frears for 2013’s Oscar-nominated Philomena.
