Prime Video has released a first-look clip and announced a released date for the upcoming Catherine Called Birdy. The film is written and directed by Lena Dunham and will release in cinemas on 23 September and on Prime Video on 7 October.
The film is based on ‘Catherine, Called Birdy’ by Karen Cushman and stars Bella Ramsey, Billie Piper and Andrew Scott.
Here’s a little more about it.
The year? 1290. In the Medieval English village of Stonebridge, Lady Catherine (known as Birdy) is the youngest child of Lord Rollo and the Lady Aislinn. Her playground is Stonebridge Manor, a house that, like the family, has seen better days. Financially destitute and utterly greedy, Rollo sees his daughter as his path out of financial ruin by marrying her off to a wealthy man for money and land. But Birdy, like all the great teen heroines, is spirited, clever, and adventurous and ready to put off any suitor that comes calling in increasingly ingenious ways. Her imagination, defiance, and deep belief in her own right to independence put her on a collision course with her parents. When the vilest suitor of all arrives, they are presented with the ultimate test of love for their daughter.
Check out the very first clip below.
More on this one soon.
