On Monday 6th September 2010 a slice of rural English countryside comes to the capital as the cast of highly anticipated comedy Tamara Drewe arrive in London’s Leicester Square for the UK Premiere.
Based on Posy Simmonds’ much-loved graphic novel, Tamara Drewe is a comedy about a young newspaper journalist torn between two lovers.
Tamara Drewe’s childhood home is being sold, and her return to the rural Dorset village where she grew up causes something of a stir.
Having left as an awkward teenager she returns as a smoldering femme fatale, kicking up a storm of envy, lust and gossip wherever she goes. Tamara is the ultimate modern girl but her story of love and confusion is timeless.
Filled with humour and romance and starring Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia, Disappearance of Alice Creed) as the eponymous Tamara, the critically acclaimed graphic novel was inspired by Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd.
British stars Dominic Cooper (An Education, Mamma Mia!), Tamsin Greig (Cuckoo, Sean of the Dead), Roger Allam (The Queen, The Wind that Shakes the Barley) and Luke Evans (Clash of the Titans, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll) make up the supporting cast alongside Bill Camp (Public Enemies, Reservation Road).
The film is directed by Stephen Frears (The Queen, Mrs Henderson Presents) and is a Ruby Films Production, produced by Alison Owen (The Other Boleyn Girl, Elizabeth)
Paul Trijbits (Executive Producer; The Wind the Shakes the Barley, Red Road) and Tracey Seaward (The Constant Gardener, The Queen).
Tamara Drewe is released in cinemas nationwide by Momentum Pictures on Friday 10th September 2010.
