THE LOST KING (2022) Official Trailer [HD] Sally Hawkins, Steve Coogan, Harry Lloyd In Cinemas Oct 7

#TheLostKing - In Cinemas October 7
In 2012, having been lost for over 500 years, the remains of King Richard III were discovered beneath a carpark in Leicester. The search had been orchestrated by an amateur historian, Philippa Langley, whose unrelenting research had been met with incomprehension by her friends and family and with scepticism by experts and academics. THE LOST KING is the life-affirming true story of a woman who refused to be ignored and who took on the country's most eminent historians, forcing them to think again about one of the most controversial kings in England's history.

I'm very happy to see Harry Lloyd finally get that crown he was promised.

[@restezlameme]

I see what you did there

[@HisameArtwork]

@@restezlameme would be nice to see him in a role where's he's not a bumbling idiot, thought he's great at it. He was so likable in Counterpart vis a vis JK Simmons, even though he plays the dumbest duchy boss to ever get a job trough nepotism. Still bitter they canceled counterpart because season 3 script had a pandemic in it and covid it ight before filming began. His character's redemption arc was finally kicking of.

[@deathdeathington]

A golden crown. Fit for king.

[@mortalclown3812]

I recall Philippa's struggle and how she was mocked; when the first opening of the concrete yielded the bones, she must've been beside herself with glee. What a beautiful tale. Hoping the film does well at the box office.

[@WildwoodClaire1]

Her crank obsessions concerning a "saintly" King Richard ARE every bit as fanciful as Shakespeare's deformed monster.

[@LynneConnolly]

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? Coincidentally, the only remaining standing part of the friary used to be in another car park, at De Montfort University under the Hawthorn Building. It's been moved to the museum now.

[@ianbanks3016]

@@WildwoodClaire1 Indeed.

[@Jac70]

I remember when this story was in the news. There were a few imterviews with this woman and I remember thinking she seemed obsessive and unbalanced, although admittedly I don't know the details of this particular story. The danger with these 'baed on a true story' movies is that people watch them and then believe that this is what happened.

[@LynneConnolly]

@@Jac70 you're right. It happens all the time, this turning fiction into faction. Take "The Crown.," for instance. And yes, she was/is as you saw her, IMO, but she had a gift for raising funds. She was the link between serious academic study, which she couldn't do, and the public, so when she brought the cameras in, the team went along with it. (It also gave them funds for other excavations).

[@AnyHistory]

This is one of my favorite historical stories. We studied Richard III in my History 300 class at university and his story was an example of how you may never be sure what is the 'right' history.

Have you ever seen the doc where they recreated the armour using someone who had the same spinal curvature as Richard? Absolutely fascinating, complete with sticking him on a horse to do jousting and a battle charge.

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.

[@msrainbowbrite]

You don't think Richard was responsible for his nephews disappearances?

[@osr4152]

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.

[@jamesconnolly3988]

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.

[@AkinNath]

@@osr4152 Cool motive, still murdered kids.

[@janesgems7]

@@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.

[@jasminearmstrong2855]

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.

[@redcarfarm1]

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.

[@jamesconnolly3988]

Terrible the way he was buried in Leicester. He was a Yorkist, he would of wanted to have been buried in York.

[@Cristobels-Green-Boots]

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.... 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽

[@janesgems7]

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.

[@janesgems7]

@@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.

[@todrapayne]

@@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.

[@LynneConnolly]

@@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.

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! 🙏🏻💔🙏🏽

At last a feel good, non violent movie. Looks to be a 10/10 movie.

[@deem7478]

Non-violent? King Richard died of multiple head wounds, pole arms or swords driven through the skull.

[@happycommuter3523]

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.

I'm sorry to say I've never heard this story before. I'm so glad they made a movie about it. So inspiring!

[@melvert33]

I remember people lining up to throw flowers at his coffin, why do people continue to consider royalty special, basically a war lord who had his nephews killed so they wouldn't take over his racket. As The Hound said "F*ck the King"

Looks like a fun and smart movie. Hope I'll have a chance to catch it at a cinema.

[@pauljurgen-romrig9616]

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.

[@Acweorna7]

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.

[@loumurrall]

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.
