‘Queen’ prequel to screen
“The Deal,” a prequel to the award-winning British film “The Queen,” will have what is being billed as its world theatrical premiere at an American Cinematheque screening at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on July 23.
The film, produced for British television and shown in the U.S. on HBO in November, was made by the same director (Stephen Frears) and screenwriter (Peter Morgan) from “The Queen” and also features Michael Sheen reprising his role as Tony Blair, this time in a story of the deal he made with Gordon Brown about who would be their party’s nominee for prime minister.
Sheen and Morgan will attend. Information and tickets: www.HerestheDeal.org.
