Mr Turner looks set to be one of the autumn movies not to miss as Mike Leigh returns to the director's chair.
Timothy Spall is on board as he takes on the title role of painter Turner, and teams up with Leigh for the first time.
A terrific cast has been brought together, as Paul Jesson, Dorothy Atkinson, and Dorothy Atkinson are just some of the other names on board.
Spall has already won the Best Actor gong at the Cannes Film Festival, and Mr Turner is widely tipped to be a major awards contender by the end of the year.
Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851).
Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies.
Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.
Mr Turner is released 31st October.
