Helena Bonham Carter will star in the film adaptation of “The Offing,” the bestselling novel by Benjamin Myers, a poignant tale of an unlikely friendship. Jessica Hobbs, who won an Emmy for “The Crown,” will direct the period drama, with Bonham Carter serving as executive producer. Beta Cinema is kicking off pre-sales at the Berlin Film Festival.
The film is set in North-East England shortly after World War II. It opens on Robert, 16, the shy, nature-loving son of a miner, who sets out to see a little more of the world before he follows his father down the pit. He gets as far as Dulcie (Bonham Carter), a hard drinking, foul-mouthed, bohemian recluse several times his age.
Under her eccentric tutelage, his life opens up to food, girls, and the transformative beauty of poetry as Dulcie recognizes a potential in Robert that he doesn’t yet see in himself.

A love story whose romance is built entirely on the quirky defense mechanisms of its protagonists, Benjamin Meyer's Fools features a couple who decide to live together before they've even kissed, much less learned each others' names. Revolving around plot devices and at least one lead performance that would likely play better on the stage, Meyer's feature debut has found some admirers on the fest circuit but is unlikely to grow its audience in regular theatrical release. A heart beats beneath its foibles, though, perhaps representing a storytelling sensibility that simply hasn't found its legs yet.
