Set in England, The Secret Garden tells the story of Mary Lennox, a prickly and unloved 10-year-old girl, born in India to wealthy British parents who never wanted her.
The film will be directed by Marc Munden (Utopia, The Mark of Cain, The Devil’s Whore).
The film stars Dixie Egerickx (The Little Stranger) as Mary Lennox and Colin Firth (The King’s Speech) as Archibald Craven along with Oscar nominated and BAFTA-winning Julie Walters (Paddington 1 & 2) as Mrs Medlock, the head housekeeper at Misselthwaite.
The Secret Garden reunites StudioCanal and Heyday following their successful collaboration on Paddington 1 & 2.
