I’m so looking forward to this, for Colin Firth, for director Tom Hooper (who made the fantastic The Damned United), for its intriguing approach to a turning point in history through one of the most unlikely lenses. This is already getting tons of Oscar buzz, after its debut at the Toronto Film Festival. I hope it lives up to that buzz.
The King’s Speech opens in the U.S. on November 26, in Canada on December 10, and in the U.K. on January 7, 2011.
