Crediting Charles Dickens “instinctive sense of comedy”, Armando Iannucci aims to bring his work into the 21st century with The Personal History Of David Copperfield. A quirky, modern and experimental retelling of the book aimed at all generations.
Wanting to make a film that represents modern day London, the film features a multi-ethnic all star cast, led by Dev Patel whose “strength, focus and charisma” Iannucci compliments.
