"This choir isn't about singing for ourselves... it's about being heard." Bleecker Street Films has unveiled an official trailer for a "feel-good crowd-pleaser" film titled Military Wives, the latest film from the British director of The Full Monty. Despite the reality TV-sounding name, this is really a heartfelt dramedy about a group of women whose partners are away serving in the military in the Middle East. They come together and form a choir, and quickly find themselves at the center of a media sensation and global movement. The cast is lead by Kristin Scott Thomas and Sharon Horgan, with an ensemble including Emma Lowndes, Gaby French, Lara Rossi, Amy James-Kelly, Jason Flemyng, and Greg Wise. This doesn't seem so bad! I was ready to write it off, especially with that title, but it actually has quite a bit of inspiration to offer. Here's the full official trailer (+ poster) for Peter Cattaneo's Military Wives,...

Bleecker Street has acquired the U.S. distribution rights to “Military Wives,” a British, feel-good drama starring Kristin Scott Thomas that made its premiere at Tiff on Friday, an individual with knowledge of the deal told TheWrap.
Several distributors chased the film following its premiere screening, and Bleecker Street plans to release the film theatrically.
“Military Wives” is about a group of British wives whose husbands are serving overseas in Afghanistan and decide to form a choir in their absence. Their joy for singing soon inspires a media sensation and a global movement. The film is directed by Peter Cattaneo (“The Full Monty”) and written by Rosanne Flynn and Rachel Tunnard.

“We don’t have the privilege to be against the war,” tuts a British wife to a peace activist. “We’re married to it.” Technically, she means married to an active-duty soldier, but as far as “Military Wives” director Peter Cattaneo is concerned, there’s little to distinguish the Afghanistan-sent men these left-to-fend-for-themselves ladies love from the machine that deploys them. When their spouses lose communication, each wife on the base gets an impersonal text at the same time, a chorus of pings and buzzes that simultaneously spook every house.
To distract themselves from negative thoughts, the anxious women form their own choir under the leadership of two officers’ wives, Lisa (Sharon Horgan of TV’s “Catastrophe”) and Kate (Kristin Scott Thomas), who jockey to decide whether they’ll sing pop songs or hymns. Lisa is the chillaxed mom of a binge-drinking teen girl (India Ria Amarteifio) who could learn...

Exclusive: Robbie Williams and regular song-writing collaborator Guy Chambers, known for their partnership on hit singles including Angels, Let Me Entertain You and Millenium, are to provide an original song for UK comedy-drama Military Wives, starring Kristin Scott Thomas and Catastrophe‘s Sharon Horgan.
Peter Cattaneo’s (The Full Monty) upcoming film, inspired by the hit BBC documentary series, The Choir: Military Wives, tells the story of a group of women, separated from their loved ones serving in the armed forces, who form a choir at their army base. Pic is currently in post-production.
Bringing aboard Williams, the best-selling British solo artist ever in the UK, is quite a coup for the production. I gather the singer was approached by producers via music supervisor Liz Gallacher and he quickly sparked to the material. It’s not clear at this stage whether Williams will also sing the song.

Rochefort finally develops into a worthy adversary for The Musketeers in another solid episode for the BBC One series...
This review contains spoilers.
2.4 Emilie
So four episodes in – nearly halfway – and we’ve had a pretty good season so far, a so-so opener but two strong follow-ups and now Emilie which sits somewhere comfortably inbetween. Written by Showrunner Adrian Hodges and directed by Andy Hay (of first season’s Knight Takes Queen and The Exiles as well as a future episode within this season), Emilie is a very different beast than last week’s somewhat frenetic The Good Traitor. However, whereas The Good Traitor was better than the sum of its many parts, Emilie never seems to fly in the way the previous episode did. Here are a couple of thoughts on why that might be.
First up, the main story and predominant focus is on the titular Emilie. Played...
