Emma Thompson

Emma Thompson says she was very 'moved' and 'touched' that Saving Mr Banks is screening in London.

The actress is set to return to the big screen as author P.L. Travers - author of Mary Poppins - in Saving Mr Banks: a movie that looks at how the book became the iconic movie that we all now.

Thompson was on the red carpet in Leicester Square on Sunday night for the premiere of the film: a screening that officially closed the BFI London Film Festival.

She went on to talk about her role in the film and what audiences can expect from the movie:

Saving Mr Banks sees Thompson team up with fellow Oscar winner Tom Hanks, who takes on the role of Walt Disney in the film, while John Lee Hancock is in the director's chair.

It has already been a busy year for the actress as we have seen her in Beautiful Creatures and Love Punch.

She has also completed work on Effie Gray and narrated a new film by Terrence Malick called Voyage of Time.

Saving Mr Banks is released 29th November.
