It's not 2012 yet and I've just seen a TV Trailer that is already calling the French (PATHE) Farce THE IRON LADY the film of 2012...what...? That's right - forget THE HOBBIT, THE AVENGERS, THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, SKY FALL, J EDGAR, CORIOLANUS, WAR HORSE, PROMETHEUS, THE WOMAN IN BLACK, THE HUNGER GAMES, BRAVE, GANGSTER SQUAD, CLOUD ATLAS, LES MISERABLES, THE GREAT GATSBY, DJANGO UNCHAINED, LINCOLN, COGAN'S TRADE, SEVEN PSYCHOPATHS, WETTEST COUNTRY, DARK SHADOWS, WORLD WAR Z, NERO FIDDLED, GREAT HOPE SPRINGS, THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN, GAMBIT, ARGO, MOONRISE KINGDOM, ON THE ROAD, COSMOPOLIS, TOTAL RECALL, THE BURIAL, LOVE, THE END, SEVEN DAYS, THE ANGEL'S SHARE and LAY THE FAVOURITE to name - a lot - you guys may as well pack up shop and not bother distributing, the CLEAR winner is already here on the 6th January, 2012.
From the French PATHE and Film4, distributed here by American FOX - Oh yes, I forgot as a nation we don't have much of a distibution network or movie industry thanks to - oh - thanks to The Iron Lady herself among others - she put the final nail in the coffin with the termination of the Eady Levy in 1985.
The woman who 'defied convention' (French translation 'defied the nation') has her very own shiney biopic. 'Where there is discord, may we bring Harmony Hairspray...' much of the 'Iron' being in that hairstyle.
It looks like a great 'who do you do' for Meryl Streep, it's the first in a franchise I hear to take on Marvel Pictures - a Super Zero franchise paving the way for a team up...next up we've got THE INCREDIBLE SULK (Nick Clegg) THE ARTFUL TAX DODGER (George Osborne) and a remake of LIAR, LIAR (David Cameron) Expect THE (SC)AVENGERS...sometime in the Mayan Calendar...
Let's hope it rusts...
