Epic Film Coming about India

March 17, 2009

News came out last week that Joe Wright, the director
of "Atonement," is attached to direct a sprawling epic
film about Britain's final days of Empire in India.

> From the recent BBC Article:

British film-maker Joe Wright has signed up to direct an
epic about the final days of British rule in India.

Indian Summer, based on a book by Alex von Tunzelmann,
is set in 1947 as Louis Mountbatten transfers power to
India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

Wright's last two films, Atonement and Pride and Prejudice,
both starred Keira Knightley and were Oscar nominated.

Casting for Indian Summer is to be confirmed and filming
will start on location in India in 2010.

Louis Mountbatten's wife Edwina is a significant character
in the new film which is being made by Working Title. (snip)
