It’s always a pleasure to see a British film not only live up to the potential of the cast and the crew, but to surpass all expectations in such a dazzling, humble manner is a treat indeed.
Pride, the new film from director Matthew Warchus and writer Stephen Beresford, premiered in London this evening and we were on the carpet to catch those in attendance. The film tells the strange and wonderful tale of a curious alliance formed in the 80s between a group of LGBT activists and the miners affected by the government’s brutal policies. This is a recipe for great things, with a tangible sense of joy, and a very funny script, making the most of the unusual bedfellow.
Bill Nighy and Imelda Staunton were on hand as were Paddy Considine and Andrew Scott (who as Moriaty in BBC’s Sherlock cast a spell over the entire country) – all beaming with, naturally, pride as they had to chance to show off their film.
Emma Thrower and Colin Hart were on the carpet for us this evening, here’s what happened.
Warning. Swearing happens – in real life and in these interviews. If these shadows have offended, don’t watch them and all is mended.
