About Emma Thompson
Emma is a chain-smoking, fur-coated spitfire - in a brilliant comic performance in Robert Carlyle’s Legend of Barney Thomas. She is a Hogwarts Professor of Divination and a crusading defence attorney (Best Supporting Actress Oscar nom for this one) in In The Name Of The Father. She conveys deeply affecting emotion with just a glance in the multi-Oscar nominated study of repression, Remains of the Day, and spins cinematic gold as Elinor Dashwood from her Oscar winning screenplay. Then there’s Nanny McPhee, Mary Poppins in Saving Mr Banks and a singing cursed teapot in Beauty And The Beast. She made you cry in Love Actually, so don’t deny it. Her vocal ability is as versatile as her acting talent.

Following a huge success at this years Sundance Film Festival; Late Night, is set for release on Amazon later this year. The comedy, written by Mindy Kaling and directed by Nisha Ganatra, stars our very own Emm Thompson.
Inspired by Mindy Kaling's own experiences in the writers room, the film tells the story of when Thompson's "Katherine Newbury"; a talk show host on the brink of extinction, meets 'Molly Patel'. A "chemical plant worker desperate to break into comedy", entrusted with the task to bring her show back to life.
Keep tuned for more details.
