New poster for Hyde Park on Hudson starring Bill Murray
Hyde Park On Hudson is the central film of this year’s BFI London Film Festival.
Directed by Roger Mitchell of Notting Hill fame, it stars Bill Murray as President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The film has already been well received at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals, and there are high hopes for it come award season.
The supporting cast includes: Laura Linney, Olivia Williams, Olivia Colman, Samuel West, Elizabeth Marvel, Elizabeth Wilson, and Blake Ritson.
Here’s the synopsis:
“In June 1939, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Academy Award nominee Bill Murray) and his wife Eleanor (Olivia Williams) host the King and Queen of England (Samuel West and Olivia Colman) for a weekend at the Roosevelt home at Hyde Park on Hudson, in upstate New York–the first-ever visit of a reigning English monarch to America. With Britain facing imminent war with Germany, the Royals are desperately looking to FDR for support. But international affairs must be juggled with the complexities of FDR’s domestic establishment, as wife, mother, and mistresses all conspire to make the royal weekend an unforgettable one. Seen through the eyes of Daisy (Academy Award nominee Laura Linney), Franklin’s neighbor and intimate, the weekend will produce not only a special relationship between two great nations, but, for Daisy–and through her, for us all–a deeper understanding of the mysteries of love and friendship.”
And the new quad poster in all its glory:
