THE LOST KING

GB
2022
1hr 48mins
Dir: Stephen Frears
Starring: Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan

An amateur historian defies the academic establishment in her efforts to find King Richard III’s remains

This comedy drama was based on the 2013 book The King’s Grave: The Search for Richard III by Philippa Langley and Michael Jones but it was not a success. It features a scene with Sally Hawkins getting off a ScotRail HST set at Edinburgh Waverley, though her journey to Scotland is depicted with an aerial shot of one of the new LNER Azumas running through the countryside. There is also an establishing shot of the Forth Bridge from the shore at North Queensferry.
