Hunger Games star Sam Claflin is teaming up with Lily James – who’s soon to become a much bigger name thanks to playing the title role in Disney’s upcoming Cinderella – for Their Finest Hour And A Half, based on Lissa Evans’s novel, according to Deadline.
The novel ‘follows the misadventures of a British movie crew trying to make a patriotic film to boost morale after the Blitz during World War II.’ It was very well received on its release, with Evans winning the Orange Prize for best book written by a female author.
Lone Scherfig (One Day, An Education) is set to direct the movie, which will reteam her with Claflin following The Riot Club. Their Finest Hour And A Half will look for buyers at next month’s AFM with the hope of filming in 2015.
