Felicity Jones is one of the finest young actresses from the UK to rise in recent years, and it’s always good news to hear about her upcoming projects.

Cheerful Weather for the Wedding marks Donald Rice’s feature directorial debut, co-writing the script with Mary Henely-Magill (also making her debut), and sees Jones starring as the young lead in 1930s England:

“England, 1932. Today is the wedding day of Dolly Thatcham, and her family is arriving at the manor house with all the cheerfulness, chaos and grievances that bubble to the surface at such gatherings. Trouble soon appears in the shape of Joseph, Dolly’s lover from the previous summer, who throws her feelings into turmoil. Dolly’s mother will not allow her carefully laid plans for her daughter’s future to be threatened, and as the clock ticks, the bride can’t decide whether to run away with Joseph or start a new life in Argentina with her husband-to-be.”

Along with Jones, the film also stars Luke Treadaway, Elizabeth McGovern, Mackenzie Crook, Zoe Tapper, and Ellie Kendrick, and has just had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival last weekend.

The first clip from the film has now gone online, courtesy of the festival’s website, and can be viewed in the player below.

As yet, the film doesn’t have a release date, having only just had its world debut, but hopefully it’s just a matter of time before that gets announced, both here and in the US. Jones is always a pleasure to watch, so this should be one to look forward to. Here’s the first clip from the film to give you a taste of what to expect.
