Brontë press release

Well, there are no new names or further information on Brontë, the film written and directed by Angela Workman (besides what we have already published) but we thought that maybe our readers can be interested in reading the press release that Becker Entertainment (the sales agent of the the production) has issued recently. We know that the producers were present in Cannes recently, maybe closing some deals about Brontë?

Becker International’s Iain Canning said ‘We are incredibly excited to be working with Angela and the Producer team behind Bronte. Angela has a passionate understanding of the material and a powerful directorial vision. We look forward to introducing the film to international distributors at this year’s Cannes Film Festival’

"Charlotte Bronte and her sisters were the most unlikely of heroes. They became immortal almost in spite of themselves, and in spite of the remote and inconsequential world from which they rose. The Brontes were surrounded by death on every side and yet they lived and created with an extraordinarily brilliant life spirit. It's that epic spirit, that counterpoint to darkness, that makes their story so unique and so transcendent of the typical biopic genre" said Angela Workman (Writer/Director).

‘We are delighted to be working with Becker International as sales agents on this project. Having developed this project with Angela for the past three years we were very keen to work with a sales company that shared our passion for the project and Iain and the team at Becker have that passion and that vision’ said Alistair Maclean-Clark (Producer).

We can add that on the imdb webpage of Brontë, now appears that the filming has been slated to the next fall and according to this blog the shooting will begin in Dublin.
