New THE KING’S SPEECH Poster

Yahoo! Movies has released this regal poster for THE KING’S SPEECH. Awards season aside, I can tell you it’s a must-see film…for anytime of the year. And I defy anyone not to be affected by Colin Firth’s moving portrayal of George VI and his triumph over a debilitating stammer to become England’s steadfast monarch when the country needed his leadership the most. It’s brilliant work from director Tom Hooper (HBO’s JOHN ADAMS) with a beautiful score from Alexandre Desplat.

‎THE KING’S SPEECH was nominated this week for an Independent Spirit Award as ‘BEST FOREIGN FILM’ and one of the Ten Best Films of 2010 by the National Board of Review.

THE KING’S SPEECH is in select theaters now and at Christmas. Visit the film’s new official website HERE and on Facebook HERE.

Colin Firth Talks About His Role THE KING’S SPEECH

Watch as Colin Firth talks about the role of King George VI in THE KING’S SPEECH, what he learned from I, CLAUDIUS actor Derek Jacobi on stammering, the film’s Oscar buzz and his bromance with “workaholic” Geoffrey Rush in this lengthy interview with CBS News’ Katie Couric. As usual, I’m looking forward to Firth’s next role and film, TINKER, TAILOR, SOLDIER, SPY, from director Tomas Alfredson (LET THE RIGHT ONE IN).

From The Weinstein Company and director Tom Hooper, (THE DAMNED UNITED and HBO’s miniseries “John Adams” and “Elizabeth,”) THE KING’S SPEECH is in select theaters now.

Visit the film’s new official website HERE and on Facebook HERE. It’s filled with photos, videos, and info about the cast and filmmakers. On a side note, George VI became king over 70 years ago on 11th of December 1936 once his brother Edward VIII abdicated.
