The film stars Arterton, Roger Allam, Bill Camp, Dominic Cooper, Luke Evans, Tamsin Greig, Charlotte Christie, Jessica Barden, John Bett, Josie Taylor, Bronagh Gallagher, and Pipa Haywood. You’ll also notice a few little comic book flourishes throughout the trailer. That’s because the film is in fact based on a comic strip serial by Posy Simmonds that was later collected into a single graphic novel.
TAMARA DREWE opens October 8th and can also be seen at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. Trailer’s below, or you can head on over to Yahoo! Movies to catch Arterton’s fine behind in HD.
Synopsis: When Tamara Drewe sashays back to the bucolic village of her youth, life for the locals is thrown upside down. Tamara — once an ugly duckling — has been transformed into a devastating beauty (with help from plastic surgery). As infatuations, jealousies, love affairs and career ambitions collide among the inhabitants of the neighboring farmsteads, Tamara sets a contemporary comedy of manners into play using the oldest magic in the book: sex appeal.
