First Poster Of Meryl Streep As Margaret Thatcher In THE IRON LADY

Meryl Streep stars as Margaret Thatcher in this first poster for The Weinstein Company’s THE IRON LADY. I can appreciate the duality of the poster – it rings true. For a time in the 80’s Thatcher and England were synonymous with each other. The Soviet Union knew better not to cross the United Kingdom and “The Iron Lady”.

To be released on December 16, 2011, THE IRON LADY is a surprising and intimate portrait of Margaret Thatcher (Meryl Streep), the first and only female Prime Minister of The United Kingdom. One of the 20th century’s most famous and influential women, Thatcher came from nowhere to smash through barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male dominated world.

The film stars Academy Award-winners Meryl Streep as Lady Thatcher and Jim Broadbent as Denis Thatcher. Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd will play the younger Thatchers. The British cast includes Olivia Colman, Nicholas Farrell, Susan Brown, Roger Allam, Anthony Head, Julian Wadham, Pip Torrens, Nick Dunning, Richard E Grant, David Westhead, Angus Wright and John Sessions.

THE IRON LADY opens in the U.S. on December 16th by the Weinstein Co. and in the U.K. on January 6, 2012 by Pathe.
