She wasn't mocked. The university welcomed her. They identified the car park as a place of interest back in 1985, old maps had shown them where the choir of Greyfriars was, but they had to wait until the property was vacant before they were allowed to excavate it. They had already done a preliminary survey, but they were happy for her to help with the initial radiography survey. She did not pay the for the dig, as she claims on her website. The university and the local authority did that. She did help to raise funds for the project. But that wouldn't have made a "quirky English film," would it?

Yes, agree. I am tired of 'medieval' movies where everyone wears grey, where they run around with dirt-streaked faces, where their armour looks like crap. Medieval people loved bright colour...their churches and castles were full of bright paint.

I remember reading bits and pieces about the dig when it happened, but had no idea of the teamwork and political posturing around it. The story is told with compassion and humor while teaching us a little history along the way. Well worth seeing if the subject interests you.
There is a documentary about the dig itself (some of the scenes in the film are directly taken from that day) which is fabulous. Its on youtube here: th-cam.com/video/P8QDa1zuUd4/w-d-xo.html
Philippa proved that self taught historians are a force to be reckoned with. It’s not about grades or degrees it’s about the quest for knowledge and truth.
This looks amazing. I loved watching the documentary about finding Richard III's body, how he really had scoliosis, and how they had a funeral for him over 500 years after his death on the battlefield.
My mum is a big Richard iii fan. She entered a lottery to go to the funeral and won a seat. She sat next to Benadict Cumberbatch and whispered to him that he needed to tuck his shirt in when he got up to make a speech. My wife is a huge Richard iii fan (runs in the family) and we met Phillipa Langley at Bosworth Field a couple of years after the reinterment. Lovely lady.
The funeral was so fine + a beautiful poem + a magnificent sculpture... All hail King Richard Plantagenet! - in the movie ‘Anonymous’, we discover who the rôle of ‘evil Richard’ was actually based on.... 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
I have the same condition, so I feel an affinity with him; I also remember visiting the Battle of Bosworth field site....and discovering that he lost because Henry bribed his men to fight for HIM instead. History has said a lot of things about Richard, which many experts believe were untrue. It was amazing how they found him, and the Richard III society paid for his funeral, while his last known descendant I believe, made his coffin. Touching story.
@@Cristobels-Green-Boots Philippa said she was convinced he wanted to be found...I know a lot of people are upset he wasn't buried in York, but he had a lovely funeral, and a beautiful tomb worthy of a brave man. I think he's at rest now.
I absolutely am intrigued by King Richard III and the Plantagenets. I am a member of his society so for me this movie is a long time coming and very unexpected. Thank you 🙏🏼 but my biggest ThankYou has to go to Philippa Langley, Michael Jones and all of people who were involved in the finding and the re burial of our last Plantagenet King, Richard III 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not sure about that. For years we were told that his disability was just made up by Tudor propagandists but then his skeleton confirms he had scoliosis. He is still the number 1 suspect for the murder of the princes. Not sure he was a monster but he was a man of his time in a dangerous age. If he hadn't sized power his rivals may have done away with him.
I dont see any redemption to be honest. The curvature of his spine only reinforces the rumours that were spoken of him for the past 500 years. It was dismissed by Richard III supporters as Tudour propaganda to make him look like a sinister character who would be capable of killing children. It turned out to be true.
@@msrainbowbrite None of us know that....actually, there is a lot of speculation as to whether they were murdered at all. Interesting fact...two skeletons believed to be theirs are in Westminster Abbey but the Queen refused to allow DNA testing on them. Another interesting fact....Richard was crowned AFTER his nephews were declared illegitimate, so he had no reason to have them murdered. Mary Tudor imprisoned her sister Elizabeth after she was declared illegitimate rather than having her killed because a 'bastard' heir had no rights to a throne therefore was no threat. There are a lot of historians who believe that if the boys were murdered, the culprit was far more likely to have been Henry VII.
I mean it's literally about her finding a king in a car park there really isn't much suspense in that. It was it pretty big deal when it happened. Would you expect someone who makes a movie about 9-11 to keep the plane crash a secret?
@@zoedean5459Of course the ending is known, but I think it's still possible to leave some anticipation about HOW the screenwriter told their interpretation of the story. A film about 9/11 could be told from thousands of viewpoints and each trailer could be vastly different without showing all the high points of the film.
@@dAtkRaK it didn't. The real story is much more interesting. The dig was one scheduled by Leicester University, and the identification and research was inter-departmental. Paid for by the university. It was long suspected that Richard lay in Greyfriars, instead of being thrown into the river at the Reformation when the friary was dissolved. This woman just arrived and claimed the credit. The department let her in to view the bones and the reconstruction of his face, and she brought a photographer. What annoys me is that the two people who actually discovered and identified the body have been obscured by the woman who tried to claim it all for herself. Take it as fiction, then it's a fun story. But do look up the real story, too.
I loved the Lost King! It has been a while since I had last seen a film I enjoyed this much. I found Harry Lloyd's performance as King Richard III very charming, loved his scenes with Phillipa. Also, glad to see him wearing a golden crown that actually is head-friendly. (Poor Viserys
Gotta love the british movies. They are just made different. Not the hollyweed bs. The actors look very lively and soulful, the story is very different from what we usually see. Great movie.
The real Philippa Langley is one crazy person but the fact that she said the king was under a carpark marked with an R and was actually right? It's bloody crazy, this shouldn't have happened but it did.
No it didn't. The archaeologists had that area earmarked for years. They're finally talking about the distortions of the film. They didn't oppose her, she didn't pay for the first research, and while her contribution is acknowledged, she was not the central person behind the find.
She literally made one of the skeptical historians eat their hat. He said he would if the skeleton they found was Richard's. Hope they have that in the film.
I have friends that participated on the archaeological dig from Leicester University, so I am very stoked to watch this movie! Very proud of my friends, my alma mater, and the diligence of this woman!
I mean, I was excited about the trailer and thought "oohh, that's a movie I'd like to see!" but after watching this trailer, it feels like I already watched the whole movie. I mean, did they leave anything out when cutting this trailer?
You know how the film ends, its based on a true story, so this line of complaining makes no sense. Just because you have fingers and keys, doesn't mean you have to use them.
@@isoldam we all know the story of romeo & juliette, titanic and others. still - a trailer shouldn't spoil the most dramatic scenes of a movie. also saying "it was all over the news years ago" - there're people outside of the uk, you know, the rest of the world, who didn't follow this story as closely as you guys did on your island. i for one read an article, when the body was discovered, and i think i watched a yt-documentary right after, but a movie about the person responsible that did sound very interesting. that was until the trailer kinda told everything.
She was great in this but i do recall another actor who looked very like real life Phillipa ( i can't recall the name) who might have been chosen. Happy to see Phillipa in the crowd at the Cathedral
Hell Yea! Finally, a film where Richard is NOT A VILLAIN! The White Queen is probably the only one apart from this that shows his true side. a pleasure to be a relation to this great king.
@@TisMePyper.S only one with the means and opportunity. there are plenty of people who have might liked to kill the princess but only Richard had the means to do that. you can talk about other good richard might have done sure but there is every reason to believe he killed those poor boys
@@user-jj4pm2wr6o Not just him. There are others who would have gained more power from their deaths. And who knows if they were even killed? They could have been whisked away somewhere. Let's not forget Tudor had more of a reason to gain power from all this.
BTW, the bemused reaction of the actor playing the apparition of Richard III to the society member who has a Prince Valiant-style haircut is nothing short of priceless -- as if to say "Bloody nutters!" Even the ghost is skeptical of these people!
I have walked across the car park many times. Weird to think I was walking over the body of a king but then we never know what is below our feet do we?
This is a remarkable story, how cool that they're making a movie out of it! What a cast, I mean, Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, and Harry Lloyd, but also, is that Bruce from the Scotland History Tours TH-cam channel????
It is that sense that you get, a moment when you get an idea, a feeling, a drive that leads you to a breakthrough. I love these moments and retold them to be inspired.
@@AmazinGraceXOXO1 There's nearly 8 billion people in the world. Not everyone knows this one story. . .Well, unless they watch this trailer, I suppose.
@@CaesiusX anyone remotely interested in the subject would know Richard III was found under a car park. It's like people watching the lifetime movie of JK Rowlings life and then being surprised when she becomes a well known writer at the end. Most people watching a movie of J K Rowlings life would know about ... well... her life. Anyone interested in watching a movie about Richard III being found would already know that he was found. Like it's literally in the movie description.
As a yank, I have absolutely no knowledge of this story. But I want to watch this movie NOW. The trailer is very compelling and I love learning about history.
I didn't know about the story behind the discovery of his resting place under the car park. A fantastic idea for a film and a great cast. Can't wait for this.
Very eager to see it ! Exactly (appart from details, and the fact that it's a real person) the same story as in the novel written by Josephine Tey in 1951 : "The daughter of time" (aka the truth, of course...) exactly about the same Richard III. Quite frightening, how terrible lies and injustices can be perpetuated through centuries et be still nowadays taught as truth... But glad to see Sally Hawkins again, directed by Stephen Frears....
@@finny505 Yes, I know about the real Richard III, the war of the roses and the battle of Bosworth. Fun fact: Game of thrones is inspired by the War of the Roses between the Lancaster and the York families. Do those family names ring a bell?
I read about this story. Fascinating. I had no idea how his bones were found or who even thought 5hey would be Richard. Neat story. Can’t wait to see it.
The documentary was brilliant, and this also looks the same. You could see the passion in Philippa in the doc and they seem to have captured it here. Remarkable story so it will be wonderful to see her experience.
I'm very excited about this and it looks well done with just the right humor and pathos (please don't let me down, film makers!). I was introduce to Rlll at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival about 1978. Then I read Daughter of Time. He was still my bad guy. Then, as a Yank attending the University of Leicester in the 80's, I visited the Tower of London and had a yeoman correct me, with some anger, that Richard wasn't the killer as Shakespeare had portrayed him. I began to rethink. A boyfriend took me to both Bosworth field where the ghosts are, and to see Anthony Sher's brilliant Richard at Stratford. These were all unrelated. And in 1985, we happened to be in the ancient market in downtown Leics. when who should ride out to battle with his soldiers, but a Dick3, to commemorate his last stand in 1485. Richard had been following me for years. And it was only a coincidence I attended that uni. So when his bones were discovered 27 years later, it was beyond thrilling. Bless you Phillipa!
@dave and Eiffert: What a wondrous telling of a great story - thank you! I’m on Richard’s Good Side: the movie ‘Anonymous’ gives us an idea of who The Nasty was really based on...& the groundlings loved that! I came to love Richard through Aneurin Barnard’s sympathetic portrayal - right from boyhood, through his love of Anne, to the bitter end! I’d admired Margaret Beaufort for a long time...a mother at 13, a widow soon after, & her fierce protection of her son, Henry Tudor: but when I began learning of the depraved depths to which she was prepared to sink, I lost all feeling for her...what strident & inhumane times they were! Margaret was outwardly pious, & believed that she was following God’s intention... but the Commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’....supplanting herself into the York household...the Princes (Catherine & Edward’s sons - the next in the Plantagenet Line) kept for safety in the Tower... the bribery of Richard’s allies...it’s unbearable! Back in the Day, I wasn’t that interested in the scanty history that we were taught - almost in passing! It’s great to find one’s awareness opening up, & becoming so curious about what came before, via the dramas & destinies brought to us by films, theatre, & the internet! Thank you for your story: take care & be well! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
So when's this film on tv then. As it looks like to have aired already in a condensed 2m36sec form on this site. Suprised this site was considered over playing in cinemas across countries 🤡
@@celeryg66 Everyone who has even the smallest interest in historical discoveries already knows the story tbh so the trailer is hardly spoiler territory...
Since a kid I was fascinated by a plaque on a bridge not too far from Leicester centre. It read something like “somewhere near this spot lie the remains of Richard III. Somebody knew Long ago more or less where he was. The plaque was in fact spitting distance from where he was found.
There is a plaque in Grey Friars, on the wall of a former bank, which says that the church where Richard III was buried was nearby, put there by the Richard III Society in 1990. It is near where he was found. There is also a plaque, put there in 1856 and one of four, on Bow Bridge which claims that Richard III's bones were thrown into the River Soar. The others are: one by Leicester Corporation when Bow Bridge was rebuilt, 1862, one from 2005 by the Richard III Society, disputing the claims of the first plaque, and a more recent Leicester City Council information board.
It was the diligent and persistent hard work of Jonn Ashdowne Hill, that led the way for Leicester University, who sadly passed away in 2018. Without him, no Richard.
I was thinking "I'm going to watch that!. Then I watched the trailer and saw pretty much the whole thing... Yes, yes, I know it's a recent true story, but they could have left out the moment where his body was found. Duh.

Not only Phillipa's story but how sweet it is to look at the beautiful Harry Lloyd, the beautiful thrice ggrandson of Charles Dickens on his mum's side.

- in the movie ‘Anonymous’, we discover who the rôle of ‘evil Richard’ was actually based on....
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
I have the same condition, so I feel an affinity with him; I also remember visiting the Battle of Bosworth field site....and discovering that he lost because Henry bribed his men to fight for HIM instead. History has said a lot of things about Richard, which many experts believe were untrue. It was amazing how they found him, and the Richard III society paid for his funeral, while his last known descendant I believe, made his coffin. Touching story.
@@Cristobels-Green-Boots Philippa said she was convinced he wanted to be found...I know a lot of people are upset he wasn't buried in York, but he had a lovely funeral, and a beautiful tomb worthy of a brave man. I think he's at rest now.
I absolutely am intrigued by King Richard III and the Plantagenets. I am a member of his society so for me this movie is a long time coming and very unexpected. Thank you 🙏🏼 but my biggest ThankYou has to go to Philippa Langley, Michael Jones and all of people who were involved in the finding and the re burial of our last Plantagenet King, Richard III 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I love that Richard is finally finally being given a true redemption narrative. She did his legacy of great service
You don't think Richard was responsible for his nephews disappearances?
Not sure about that. For years we were told that his disability was just made up by Tudor propagandists but then his skeleton confirms he had scoliosis. He is still the number 1 suspect for the murder of the princes.
Not sure he was a monster but he was a man of his time in a dangerous age. If he hadn't sized power his rivals may have done away with him.
I dont see any redemption to be honest. The curvature of his spine only reinforces the rumours that were spoken of him for the past 500 years. It was dismissed by Richard III supporters as Tudour propaganda to make him look like a sinister character who would be capable of killing children. It turned out to be true.
@@osr4152 Cool motive, still murdered kids.
@@msrainbowbrite None of us know that....actually, there is a lot of speculation as to whether they were murdered at all. Interesting fact...two skeletons believed to be theirs are in Westminster Abbey but the Queen refused to allow DNA testing on them.
Another interesting fact....Richard was crowned AFTER his nephews were declared illegitimate, so he had no reason to have them murdered. Mary Tudor imprisoned her sister Elizabeth after she was declared illegitimate rather than having her killed because a 'bastard' heir had no rights to a throne therefore was no threat. There are a lot of historians who believe that if the boys were murdered, the culprit was far more likely to have been Henry VII.
People complain how the entire movie is more or less shown in the trailer but the studios keep doing it anyway.
Tough to spoil a thing that just happened in the real world.
Is it a really a spoiler?
I mean it's literally about her finding a king in a car park there really isn't much suspense in that. It was it pretty big deal when it happened.
Would you expect someone who makes a movie about 9-11 to keep the plane crash a secret?
@@zoedean5459Of course the ending is known, but I think it's still possible to leave some anticipation about HOW the screenwriter told their interpretation of the story. A film about 9/11 could be told from thousands of viewpoints and each trailer could be vastly different without showing all the high points of the film.
@@dAtkRaK it didn't. The real story is much more interesting. The dig was one scheduled by Leicester University, and the identification and research was inter-departmental. Paid for by the university. It was long suspected that Richard lay in Greyfriars, instead of being thrown into the river at the Reformation when the friary was dissolved. This woman just arrived and claimed the credit. The department let her in to view the bones and the reconstruction of his face, and she brought a photographer. What annoys me is that the two people who actually discovered and identified the body have been obscured by the woman who tried to claim it all for herself.
Take it as fiction, then it's a fun story. But do look up the real story, too.
Yes, they actually found his body under a car park. Incredible.
In the very first place they dug.
@@mortalclown3812 where he'd still be were it not for Philippa.
And under the letter R
So it's a real story??? And he really was under the R letter????
@@Sheogoratful Yes and it was the VERY FIRST place they digged and they put a pickaxe throught his skull!!!
I loved the Lost King! It has been a while since I had last seen a film I enjoyed this much. I found Harry Lloyd's performance as King Richard III very charming, loved his scenes with Phillipa. Also, glad to see him wearing a golden crown that actually is head-friendly. (Poor Viserys
Congrats to Bruce Fummey, Scottish Historian and comedian for his part in this film!!! 🙌
Scotland History Tours is his channel on TH-cam!!
I was excited when I saw him in the trailer. He is a great storyteller!
I thought it was him lol.
Aye nearly fell out of my chair when Bruce showed up.
I thought that was him! Good on him!
Immediately on seeing him I shouted (at nobody) "Er what in the f*** is Brucie doin here".
I cannot wait for this one. I love the story. I love Steve and Sally. It should be a winner.
It's always a joy to see Sally. She is superb
For a second, I thought you were referring to Sally Sparrow 💀
Good to see Sally Hawkins in another movie. Looking forward to watching it!
You’ve already seen it
@@tompoynton : ) ha good one
Gotta love the british movies. They are just made different. Not the hollyweed bs. The actors look very lively and soulful, the story is very different from what we usually see. Great movie.
The real Philippa Langley is one crazy person but the fact that she said the king was under a carpark marked with an R and was actually right?
It's bloody crazy, this shouldn't have happened but it did.
She's not crazy; she's impassioned and a true history buff. Quite a different kettle of fishies
And was the R for Richard or Rex?
@@mortalclown3812 nah mate. She was crazy. Does not mean she was wrong, though.\
No it didn't. The archaeologists had that area earmarked for years. They're finally talking about the distortions of the film. They didn't oppose her, she didn't pay for the first research, and while her contribution is acknowledged, she was not the central person behind the find.
@@LynneConnolly No? who was the central person?
I can never have enough of these kind of movies, honestly. Just the trailer made me happy.
The Richard III actor also played Viserys Targaryen in The Game of Thrones.
He was also in a great Dr Who double episode. 10 th
He finally got his golden crown (without dying in the process)-glad someone noticed.
He also was in The Hollow Crown.
@@KonohasYeIlowFlash 👍 👑 🤣 He got his GoT golden crown with a loud thud when his gold head hit the ground.
That's who it is.thanks,it would have bugged me for ages!
She literally made one of the skeptical historians eat their hat. He said he would if the skeleton they found was Richard's. Hope they have that in the film.
Was it filmed and shown IRL? That would be epic.
@@LandersWorkshop Not sure. I think they settled for a hat-shaped cake in the end.
I have friends that participated on the archaeological dig from Leicester University, so I am very stoked to watch this movie! Very proud of my friends, my alma mater, and the diligence of this woman!
That's amazing, what a thrill it must have been for them to find him.
Anything with Steve Coogan in gets a yes from me. Hope it comes to our arts centre cinema.
I mean, I was excited about the trailer and thought "oohh, that's a movie I'd like to see!" but after watching this trailer, it feels like I already watched the whole movie. I mean, did they leave anything out when cutting this trailer?
You didn't know the story before? It was all over the news a few years ago. I don't see how they are giving anything away.
You know how the film ends, its based on a true story, so this line of complaining makes no sense. Just because you have fingers and keys, doesn't mean you have to use them.
@@isoldam we all know the story of romeo & juliette, titanic and others. still - a trailer shouldn't spoil the most dramatic scenes of a movie. also saying "it was all over the news years ago" - there're people outside of the uk, you know, the rest of the world, who didn't follow this story as closely as you guys did on your island. i for one read an article, when the body was discovered, and i think i watched a yt-documentary right after, but a movie about the person responsible that did sound very interesting. that was until the trailer kinda told everything.
same, todays movie trailers do this consistently. And No, im not from the UK so never heard this story before but now I do, and saved myself 20 quid
@@Paisa231 Am from Africa, watched this entire scenario unfold on YT and documentaries. Also if you paying in quid, you pretty much right there.
Like how they showed the entire film in the trailer.
Saves me watching. Thanks.
I absolutely love Sally Hawkins. The trailer had me crying and laughing out loud at the end. Can't wait to see it.
She was great in this but i do recall another actor who looked very like real life Phillipa ( i can't recall the name) who might have been chosen. Happy to see Phillipa in the crowd at the Cathedral
No guns, no explosions, no superheroes, no CGI, just a damn good movie with damn good actors.
Hell Yea! Finally, a film where Richard is NOT A VILLAIN! The White Queen is probably the only one apart from this that shows his true side.
a pleasure to be a relation to this great king.
Helps if you ignore what Richards contemporaries said about him and the actions that he took.
Cmon he’s a tyrant and a kinslayer
@@JoeKerr420 There has been no evidence to show any of that. None at all.
@@TisMePyper.S only one with the means and opportunity. there are plenty of people who have might liked to kill the princess but only Richard had the means to do that. you can talk about other good richard might have done sure but there is every reason to believe he killed those poor boys
@@user-jj4pm2wr6o Not just him. There are others who would have gained more power from their deaths. And who knows if they were even killed? They could have been whisked away somewhere. Let's not forget Tudor had more of a reason to gain power from all this.
Anything with Sally Hawkins in it is pure Gold! Damn, she is one hell of an actress and I do like her a lot...Hubba Hubba!
I've loved her acting ever since her early Mike Leigh films. She always brings everything to her roles.
BTW, the bemused reaction of the actor playing the apparition of Richard III to the society member who has a Prince Valiant-style haircut is nothing short of priceless -- as if to say "Bloody nutters!" Even the ghost is skeptical of these people!
I have walked across the car park many times. Weird to think I was walking over the body of a king but then we never know what is below our feet do we?
This is a remarkable story, how cool that they're making a movie out of it! What a cast, I mean, Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, and Harry Lloyd, but also, is that Bruce from the Scotland History Tours TH-cam channel????
RIGHT!?!?!?! Bruce FUMEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scrolled down the comments just to make sure I wasn´t the only one who noticed. Great, love Bruce´s channel.
My thoughts exactly! Did not expect to see Bruce here!
Watch the documentary! The story is really quite amazing!
Loved loved loved the book. Got goosebumps about a minute in when I realized this is Philippa’s story. Hype train.
Harry Lloyd is absolutely killing it with his Richard III cosplay.
So she found the last English king to die in battle. I'm sold.
It is that sense that you get, a moment when you get an idea, a feeling, a drive that leads you to a breakthrough. I love these moments and retold them to be inspired.
I remember this. At the time I thought it was a huge prank at first as it was so unlikely. Just on the strength of Sally Hawkins I'll be watching it.
Thanks for showing us what amounts to every major plot point and resolution in the entire film.🤦🏼♂️ You just saved us some money. 😏🙄
It's a true story, we all knew how it ended.
@@AmazinGraceXOXO1 yes, but now we know how it will be acted and staged etc. So there is nothing left to discover
@@AmazinGraceXOXO1 There's nearly 8 billion people in the world. Not everyone knows this one story. . .Well, unless they watch this trailer, I suppose.
@@AmazinGraceXOXO1 nope
@@CaesiusX anyone remotely interested in the subject would know Richard III was found under a car park. It's like people watching the lifetime movie of JK Rowlings life and then being surprised when she becomes a well known writer at the end. Most people watching a movie of J K Rowlings life would know about ... well... her life. Anyone interested in watching a movie about Richard III being found would already know that he was found. Like it's literally in the movie description.
How wonderful. Marvelous actors telling a riveting story in a heart-felt way.
I've watched the documentary so many times, I've lost count. So I'm super excited to go to the Preview night here in Sydney soon. Yay!!!
As an American Ricardian, I am incredibly excited for this film!
This looks and sounds awesome, an amazing true story that will be well told with some amazing actors. Looking forward to seeing it.
At last a feel good, non violent movie. Looks to be a 10/10 movie.
Non-violent? King Richard died of multiple head wounds, pole arms or swords driven through the skull.
They don’t show him getting killed in battle in the movie, though. It’s a story about finding his bones after he’d been dead over 500 years.
As a yank, I have absolutely no knowledge of this story. But I want to watch this movie NOW. The trailer is very compelling and I love learning about history.
Here's a good documentary on the story. th-cam.com/video/6zPRpVIvgBQ/w-d-xo.html
Sally Hawkins is amazing. She'll get her Oscar one day.
I didn't know about the story behind the discovery of his resting place under the car park. A fantastic idea for a film and a great cast. Can't wait for this.
It was a big deal when it went down, on the news and even the USA networks were raving about it.
Brilliant film! I can't wait to see this. Hats off to the cast and crew.
Very eager to see it ! Exactly (appart from details, and the fact that it's a real person) the same story as in the novel written by Josephine Tey in 1951 : "The daughter of time" (aka the truth, of course...) exactly about the same Richard III.
Quite frightening, how terrible lies and injustices can be perpetuated through centuries et be still nowadays taught as truth...
But glad to see Sally Hawkins again, directed by Stephen Frears....
Such passion and a refusal to walk the same old tired path, to reveal a truth, should be celebrated and applauded.
I can relate to the main character because I too am frequently haunted by visions of Harry Lloyd distracting me during my day.
For those of you who don’t know about Richard III, it’s the king that was crowned with melt gold by the wild Dothraki
I was looking for this comment!
ohhHH
I hope you’re joking and you do actually know that Richard III was a real king while Game of Thrones is a work of fiction!
@@finny505 Yes, I know about the real Richard III, the war of the roses and the battle of Bosworth.
Fun fact: Game of thrones is inspired by the War of the Roses between the Lancaster and the York families. Do those family names ring a bell?
@@finny505 Lannister and Stark if you haven't guessed.
It's great that Viserys finally got his golden crown
I read about this story. Fascinating. I had no idea how his bones were found or who even thought 5hey would be Richard. Neat story. Can’t wait to see it.
I'm sorry to say I've never heard this story before. I'm so glad they made a movie about it. So inspiring!
The documentary was brilliant, and this also looks the same. You could see the passion in Philippa in the doc and they seem to have captured it here. Remarkable story so it will be wonderful to see her experience.
I’ve always had a crush on a Richard III ever since I read “The Sunne in Splendour.” 🥰 Can’t wait to watch this!
I'm very excited about this and it looks well done with just the right humor and pathos (please don't let me down, film makers!). I was introduce to Rlll at the Ashland Shakespeare Festival about 1978. Then I read Daughter of Time. He was still my bad guy. Then, as a Yank attending the University of Leicester in the 80's, I visited the Tower of London and had a yeoman correct me, with some anger, that Richard wasn't the killer as Shakespeare had portrayed him. I began to rethink. A boyfriend took me to both Bosworth field where the ghosts are, and to see Anthony Sher's brilliant Richard at Stratford. These were all unrelated. And in 1985, we happened to be in the ancient market in downtown Leics. when who should ride out to battle with his soldiers, but a Dick3, to commemorate his last stand in 1485. Richard had been following me for years. And it was only a coincidence I attended that uni. So when his bones were discovered 27 years later, it was beyond thrilling. Bless you Phillipa!
@dave and Eiffert: What a wondrous telling of a great story - thank you!
I’m on Richard’s Good Side: the movie ‘Anonymous’ gives us an idea of who The Nasty was really based on...& the groundlings loved that!
I came to love Richard through Aneurin Barnard’s sympathetic portrayal - right from boyhood, through his love of Anne, to the bitter end!
I’d admired Margaret Beaufort for a long time...a mother at 13, a widow soon after, & her fierce protection of her son, Henry Tudor: but when I began learning of the depraved depths to which she was prepared to sink, I lost all feeling for her...what strident & inhumane times they were!
Margaret was outwardly pious, & believed that she was following God’s intention... but the Commandment ‘Thou shalt not kill’....supplanting herself into the York household...the Princes (Catherine & Edward’s sons - the next in the Plantagenet Line) kept for safety in the Tower... the bribery of Richard’s allies...it’s unbearable!
Back in the Day, I wasn’t that interested in the scanty history that we were taught - almost in passing! It’s great to find one’s awareness opening up, & becoming so curious about what came before, via
the dramas & destinies brought to us by films, theatre, & the internet!
Thank you for your story: take care & be well!
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
Looks like an awesome movie. We look forward to seeing it.
I think we just did!

You know this has potential as it’s a true story, and it’s NOT from Hollywood!🇬🇧
I got a little chill with Bosworth farewell
Since a kid I was fascinated by a plaque on a bridge not too far from Leicester centre.
It read something like “somewhere near this spot lie the remains of Richard III.
Somebody knew Long ago more or less where he was. The plaque was in fact spitting distance from where he was found.
There is a plaque in Grey Friars, on the wall of a former bank, which says that the church where Richard III was buried was nearby, put there by the Richard III Society in 1990. It is near where he was found.
There is also a plaque, put there in 1856 and one of four, on Bow Bridge which claims that Richard III's bones were thrown into the River Soar. The others are: one by Leicester Corporation when Bow Bridge was rebuilt, 1862, one from 2005 by the Richard III Society, disputing the claims of the first plaque, and a more recent Leicester City Council information board.
@@Acweorna7 Thanks Carolyn. Much appreciated
I'd watch anything with Sally Hawkins. Love her.

Amazing that these days we can get a whole movie in just 2 minutes and 36 seconds! Thanks so much! And for freeeee!
Harry Lloyd and Sally Hawkins! I'm already convinced!!
BRUCE FUMEY CAMEO!
Scotland History Tours is one of my fave TH-cam channels and it’s brilliant to see Bruce breaking through!
Looks like a fun and smart movie. Hope I'll have a chance to catch it at a cinema.
I love Steve Coogan. I'll watch just because of him
He looks a lot like Alan Partridge
Me, too! I loved him in “Philomena.”
To be honest, this felt more like a movie recap than a trailer. I mean, they showed the WHOLE plot.
To be fair, this movie is likely made for British audiences, and anyone who would be interested already know at least the nuts & bolts of the story.
Excellent. If you like movies based on history, such as The Kings Speech etc., you will like this one.
Harry Lloyd is an inspired choice.
It was the diligent and persistent hard work of Jonn Ashdowne Hill, that led the way for Leicester University, who sadly passed away in 2018.
Without him, no Richard.
Philomena was Philomenal, I'll definitely watch this one.
Well now I’ve seen the whole movie, thanks for saving me some time!
Viserys finally gets his crown. 👑🤴🏼
Best trailer I've seen in a while. Love all these actors. I know the story, but not all the details and it looks deliciously fun
I love Sally Hawkins… she is one of my favourite actresses 😍
I was thinking "I'm going to watch that!. Then I watched the trailer and saw pretty much the whole thing... Yes, yes, I know it's a recent true story, but they could have left out the moment where his body was found. Duh.
Hope it comes out somewhere near me. Love some Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan
I love a trailer that shows you everything in the film, including the plot, the plot twist, the start, middle and end. 🤦🏼♂️

Not only Phillipa's story but how sweet it is to look at the beautiful Harry Lloyd, the beautiful thrice ggrandson of Charles Dickens on his mum's side. It took me for forever but I saw a slight resemblance to him and Charles around the eyes. The documentary on he was found is good if you haven't watched it.
