Watch The New Trailer For PHILOMENA With Judi Dench and Steve Coogan
One of the highly anticipated Galas playing this week at the 57th BFI London Film Festival, here’s the new trailer for director Stephen Frears’ PHILOMENA.
Based on the 2009 investigative book by BBC correspondent Martin Sixsmith, The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, PHILOMENA focuses on the efforts of Philomena Lee (Dench), mother to a boy conceived out of wedlock – something her Irish-Catholic community didn’t have the highest opinion of – and given away for adoption in the United States. In following church doctrine, she was forced to sign a contract that wouldn’t allow for any sort of inquiry into the son’s whereabouts.
After starting a family years later in England and, for the most part, moving on with her life, Lee meets Sixsmith (Coogan), a BBC reporter with whom she decides to discover her long-lost son.
The film also stars Michelle Fairley, Barbara Jefford, Anna Maxwell Martin and Mare Winningham.
The Weinstein Company will release the film in select theaters November 22, 2013.
