Following a rave reception as the Opening Night Gala for the 2019 BFI London Film Festival, Lionsgate Films has now confirmed that THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD, Armando Iannucci‘s fresh new take on the Charles Dickens classic, will be released in cinemas across the UK on 24th January 2020.
The film stars Dev Patel, Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie, Peter Capaldi, Ben Whishaw, Paul Whitehouse, Aneurin Barnard, Daisy May Cooper, Morfydd Clark, Benedict Wong, Gwendoline Christie, Anthony Welsh and Rosalind Eleazar.
From birth to infancy, from adolescence to adulthood, the good-hearted David Copperfield (Dev Patel) is surrounded by kindness, wickedness, poverty and wealth, as he meets an array of remarkable characters in Victorian England.
As David sets out to be a writer, in his quest for family, friendship, romance and status, the story of his life is the most seductive tale of all.
