Here’s a new poster for The King’s Speech, the much anticipated royal period biopic from Tom Hooper, director of last year’s The Damned United.
Colin Firth has been highly praised for his role of King George VI of Britain, who employs a speech therapist to help overcome his stammer. Geoffrey Rush (who plays said therapist) has been winning plaudits too, and it’s the image of both actors which appears to be dominating the marketing drive, despite a rather impressive ensemble including Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce, Michael Gambon and Timothy Spall.
The film opens in the UK on 7th January.
