The King's Speech Images
It may only be November by The King's Speech is already an early Oscar favourite after it won over the critics on the festival circuit.
The movie sees Colin Firth give another top draw performance and could he sees another Best Actor Oscar nod come his way?
The actor picked up his first Oscar nomination of his career earlier this year for his role in A Single Man, Jeff Bridges went on to win, and many believe that he could go one step further next year.
Tom Hooper is back in the director's chair for the first time since The Damned United last year and he brings together an impressive cast.
Helena Bonham Carter, who could also be on for an Oscar nod, takes on the role of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and Geoffrey Rush as Lionel Logue.
The King's Speech is based on the true story of Queen Elizabeth II's father and his remarkable friendship with maverick speech therapist Lionel Logue.
Fascinating, moving and often humorous it charts the personal relationship that developed between England’s reluctant King George VI, plagued by a nervous stammer, and his irreverent Australian speech therapist.
As the second son of George V, Prince Albert 'Bertie' was not expected to ascend to the throne, but when his brother Edward abdicates to marry American Wallis Simpson, Bertie, as his successor, is crowned King George VI.
George becomes King as radio is taking off as a mass medium and the Second World War looms. Thrust into the international spotlight he must speak not only to the nation but to the people of the British Empire, across the world.
His wife, Queen Elizabeth, the future Queen Mother, is tireless in her belief in him. Having tried all the traditional doctors she engages unorthodox outsider, Logue, to help him find a voice that can inspire a nation on the brink of war.
The King's Speech is released 7th January. Take a look at some The King's Speech images.
