Meryl Streep is set to return to the big screen with new comedy drama Florence Foster Jenkins. We were treated a trailer last week and now the brand new poster for the film has been unveiled.
Florence Foster Jenkins
Streep is set to take on the title of Florence Foster Jenkins and she takes centre stage in this brand new poster.
Florence Foster Jenkins marks the return of Stephen Frears to the director's chair as he teams up with Streep for the first time.
Frears is no stranger to tackling a biopic film project, having brought us the fantastic Philomena and The Queen in recent years. Frears if a fantastic director and it is great to see him back.
Meryl Streep takes on the central role and is joined on the cast list by Hugh Grant, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Helberg, Neve Gachev, and Nina Arianda.
Florence Foster Jenkins tells the inspirational true story of the eponymous New York heiress who obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer. The film celebrates the human spirit, the power of music and the passion of amateurs everywhere.
The voice Florence (Streep) heard in her head was divine, but to the rest of the world, it was hilariously awful. At private recitals, her devoted husband and manager, St Clair Bayfield (Grant), managed to protect Florence from the truth. But when Florence decided to give her first public concert at New York's Carnegie Hall, St Clair realised he had perhaps bitten off more than he could chew.
Florence Foster Jenkins is released 6th May.
