To celebrate the release of Philippa Lowthorpe’s adaptation of Swallows and Amazons on Blu-ray and DVD we are privileged to have an inside view on the film’s production.
In this guest editorial screenwriter Andrea Gibb takes us on her journey bringing the beloved book to the big screen.
I first got involved with ‘Swallows and Amazons’ in 2007. Nick Barton, one of the producers, had seen my film ‘Dear Frankie’ and liked it. That had a child at the centre and, as the most important characters in ‘Swallows’ are the kids, Nick felt I could write them for the screen.
I hadn’t read the book as a child but the minute he gave it to me, I fell in love. I was struck by its power as an evocation of childhood and by the simple truth of its message; children love to play, explore and imagine.

Jason Solomons meets rising star Marine Vacth and Pelé, Terence Davies signs up Cynthia Nixon – plus the latest gossip from Cannes
Send the Marine!
Cannes has a great tradition of introducing new sex symbols to the world. Following in the dainty footsteps of Bardot, Deneuve and Paradis comes Marine Vacth (as in "pact"), whose performance in François Ozon's Jeune et Jolie had everyone asking, "Who's that girl?" In the film, she plays a gamine, bourgeois 17-year-old who suddenly takes up prostitution. Vacth followed Kate Moss as the face of Ysl perfume La Parisienne having been discovered in a branch of H&M when she was 15. When she did her first undressed shoot, her lorry-driver father sued the magazine and won. In her first-ever English interview, she told me: "My parents now leave me to do what I want. They haven't seen this film yet. But there's nothing they can do about it now.

Get ready for Swallows and Amazons remake! We’ve just learned that Downton Abbey star Dan Stevens is ready to lead a new big-screen version of Arthur Ransome’s well-known story! Previously adapted for the screen in 1974, the film will tell us the story of the Walker and the Blackett kids whose sailboats are dubbed Swallow and Amazon. Already sounds like a good old family pic… Producer Nick Barton, who stands behind this project, already revealed that they’re not remaking the film from the 1970s. The plan is to go right back to the original books and to be true to them. Here’s an official description...

Downton Abbey’s loss may be the film industry’s gain. EW has confirmed that ex-Matthew Crawley Dan Stevens is in negotiations to star in Swallows and Amazons, producer Nick Barton’s upcoming adaptation of Arthur Ransome’s children’s book. Another film based on the novel was released in 1974.
The story, first published in 1930, follows a group of six children — the four Walkers, John, Susan, Titty, and Roger, and the two Blacketts, Nancy and Peggy — who meet one summer and unite against a common enemy: the Blacketts’ uncle James Turner, a withdrawn writer whom the children dub Captain Flint...

Dan Stevens has reportedly signed up to star in a new adaptation of Swallows and Amazons.
The former Downton Abbey star will appear as James Turner - also known as Captain Flint - in the new production, reports The Sun.
Producer Nick Barton's project - a collaboration with Harbour Pictures and BBC Films - will start filming in the UK this summer.
Arthur Ransome's classic children's novel follows the lives of the Walker and Blackett children one summer. The last film version was released in 1974, while Neil Hannon produced a musical version in 2010.
Barton said: "We have gone right back to the original books. The reason I wanted to do this film was that I read all of the books when I was a child and loved them."
The original 1930 novel is centred around the group of children and their adventures, including pirates and exploring fantastical islands.

This review was written for the festival screening of "Calendar Girls".
In 1997's "The Full Monty", it was a bunch of down-and-out lads in the urban blight of Sheffield who danced naked because they were unemployed. In "Calendar Girls", it's a group of middle-aged ladies who get their kit off in beautiful rural Yorkshire.
Far from the ranks of the unemployed, they're industrious members of the Women's Institute. These doughty women of a certain age pose in the nude not because they're broke, but to raise money for leukemia research. It's a real-life story adapted into a grown-up comedy that is warm, winning and sexy. Call it "The Full Auntie".
With a rich mix of characters, emotions and reactions that all couples will recognize, and a clever nod to the younger generation, "Calendar Girls" has universal wit and wisdom that should make it a crowd-pleaser everywhere. The film opens here Sept. 5 and in North America on Dec. 19.
The aunts, mothers, wives and widows who make up the "Calendar Girls" are played by a roster of fine British performers who, along with the actors who play the long-suffering men in their lives, combine for an enchanting ensemble performance. Helen Mirren (Chris) and Julie Walters (Annie) play the best-pal ringleaders of the more spirited members of the Women's Institute in the picturesque village of Knapely on the Yorkshire dales. Easygoing Chris is not past submitting a ready-made cake from Marks & Spencer in the baking competition at the annual fete, but sober Annie usually provides the brakes for her wilder schemes. When Annie's husband dies of leukemia, however, Chris' notion of a WI nude calendar captures her imagination.
The real-life calendar ladies did end up becoming famous, going on "The Tonight Show"and raising thousands for charity, and the film follows all of that. But the rest is fiction, and clever stuff it is. Producers Nick Barton and Suzanne Mackie, writers Juliette Towhidi and Tim Firth and director Nigel Cole have combined to develop a fable rooted in character and firm plot development.
In many ways, "Calendar Girls" is a better movie than "The Full Monty" because it doesn't just take a moment in time and freeze it the way the earlier movie did. For the lads in Sheffield, nothing much was going to change after they stripped off, whereas you have the sense that things will never be quite the same in the village of Knapely -- and for the better.
It's a triumph that there is nothing sniggering or preachy in a film that deals with breaching conventions of decorum and explores how the bonds of marriage and friendship can be tested by acts of freedom and encounters with fame.
The gags will mostly travel well, though only British viewers will truly appreciate a line delivered by one of the husbands over breakfast when he looks up from the country's most hidebound and illiberal newspaper: "You're nude in the Telegraph, dear."
Mirren and Walters play against type very well, with the "Gosford Park" star shedding her often dour screen presence for a lighthearted and captivating performance and the animated star of "Educating Rita" showing a calmer more complex side. They will each be in the running when awards season comes around.
Penelope Wilton is also standout as a devoted wife who discovers that her husband is having an affair, and John Alderton is excellent in the small but crucial role of Annie's dying husband.
Cinematographer Ashley Rowe captures both the beauty and aching loneliness of the Yorkshire countryside and lights the Southern California sequences to heighten the glare of sudden and transitory fame. Patrick Doyle's typically melodic score cannily plays to the landscape of the ladies' minds rather than the cliche of their rural English environment.
