There are just a couple of days to go until Swallows and Amazons hits the big screen here in the UK... and we have another terrific clip for you to take a look at.
Swallows and Amazons
If you are looking for fun and adventure for all the family on the big screen this weekend, Swallows and Amazons is the movie you are looking for and one that's not to be missed.
The movie is a big screen adaptation of the novel of the same name by Arthur Ransome and sees Philippa Lowthorpe take up the director's chair to make her big screen directorial debut.
The filmmaker, who is best known for her television work, has assembled a terrific cast list as Kelly Macdonald, Rafe Spall, Andrew Scott, Jessica Hynes, Richard Bremmer, and Harry Enfield are all on board.
We are also going to be introduced to some exciting up and coming acting talent as Dane Hughes and Orla Hill takes on the roles of John and Susan Walker. Hughes is making his big screen debut with the film while this is the second feature film for Hill, who appeared in Song for Marion back in 2012.
Swallows And Amazons follows four children dreaming of escape from the tedium of a summer holiday in the Lake District with their mother. When finally given permission to camp on their own on a remote island in the middle of a vast lake, they are overjoyed. But when they get there they discover they may not be alone...
As a desperate battle for ownership of the island ensues, the real dangers of an adult world on the brink of war encroach on their paradise in the form of a mysterious pair of Russian spies hot on the tail of the enigmatic Jim Turner. As the sleepy British summer is turned on its head, the children must learn skills of survival, responsibility, and the all-important value of friendship.
Swallows and Amazons is released 19th August.
