movie The Magic Faraway Tree | Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy star in Enid Blyton classic

[Lovett]

Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy will lead the film adaptation of Enid Blyton's children's classic The Magic Faraway Tree.

 

The story from the author, based on her 'The Faraway Tree' series of novels for children, follows Polly and Tim and their children Beth, Joe and Fran – a modern family who find themselves forced to relocate to the remote English countryside.

 

Two-time Academy Award-nominee Andrew Garfield (tick, tick… BOOM!, Hacksaw Ridge) will play Tim and two-time Emmy Award-winner Claire Foy (All of Us Strangers, The Crown) will take on the role of Polly.

 

Screenwriter is Simon Farnaby (Wonka and Paddington 2) and director is Ben Gregor (Britannia, Cuckoo, Black Ops, Fatherhood).
