Hugh Laurie in "Mr. Pip" 2012

First Look at Hugh Laurie in Mr. Pip

The brilliant Hugh Laurie will be making his return to the big screen for the first time since the end of House with Mr. Pip, confirmed as making its world debut at the Toronto International Film Festival this September.

Until now, all has been fairly quiet with the project since its original announcement, but now we’ve got our first look at Laurie in the lead alongside his co-star, Xzannjah Matsi.

“Living under the shadow of the Papa New Guinean civil war, an eccentric schoolteacher (Hugh Laurie) forms a unique bond with a young girl (Xzannjah Matsi) over their shared love for Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, in director Andrew Adamson’s (Shrek, The Chronicles of Narnia) lusciously beautiful adaptation of the award-winning novel by Lloyd Jones.”

Andrew Adamson, the Oscar-nominated writer-director behind Shrek and The Chronicles of Narnia, is directing from his own script, adapting the original novel by Lloyd Jones.

Still no word on when we can expect this to hit theatres, but with Laurie in the lead, we’re expecting it will be quickly snapped up after its debut in Toronto this September, and we’ll hopefully be seeing it sooner rather than later.

Hast recht, es sieht eher nach nem Erotik-Streifen aus

Ach, einfach mal das Buch lesen, dann geht's euch wieder....

[soupytwist]

Ja, hab das Buch auch schon gelesen und fand es wirklich gut. Hoffe, die Verfilmung wird der Vorlage gerecht. Aber mit diesem Hauptdarsteller hat der Film ja schonmal einen RIESEN Pluspunkt...

Auf den Film bin ich gespannt. Eigentlich ist Hugh ja zu jung für die Rolle.

New Look at Hugh Laurie & More New Images from Mr. Pip

Last week brought with it a great first look at Hugh Laurie in Mr. Pip, and having just had our first look at Ralph Fiennes in Mike Newell’s Great Expectations adaptation, we’ve now got three more new images from Andrew Adamson’s upcoming film similarly headed to the Toronto International Film Festival next month.

Adamson, the Oscar-nominated writer-director behind Shrek and The Chronicles of Narnia, is directing from his own script, adapting the original award-winning novel by Lloyd Jones.

“Living under the shadow of the Papa New Guinean civil war, an eccentric schoolteacher (Hugh Laurie) forms a unique bond with a young girl (Xzannjah) over their shared love for Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, in director Andrew Adamson’s (Shrek, The Chronicles of Narnia) lusciously beautiful adaptation of the award-winning novel by Lloyd Jones.”

Starring alongside Laurie will be newcomer Xzannjah, with Kerry Fox starring as Laurie’s wife, Mrs. Watts.

Mr. Pip will be making its debut at Toronto early next month, and though there’s no word yet on when we can look forward to a release, the anticipation is naturally very high for the film, and we’re hoping it will be quickly snapped up at the festival and earn international distribution.
