The Personal History of David Copperfield is directed by Armando Iannucci (Veep) who co-wrote the film with Simon Blackwell (Succession).
The Personal History of David Copperfield masterfully tells the story of Charles Dickens’ remarkable character David Copperfield, giving the tale new life for a cosmopolitan age with a diverse ensemble cast of stage and screen actors from across the world.
As theaters begin planning to re-open across the country and studios begin looking to set new theatrical release dates, Disney has set a new release for The Personal History of David Copperfield on August 14 as they’ve moved The One and Only Ivan from the date, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The film stars Oscar nominee Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire, Lion) as David Copperfield, Oscar winner Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton, Doctor Strange) as Betsey Trotwood, and Golden Globe winner Hugh Laurie (House) as Mr. Dick.
