Media Interest Grows in Swallows and Amazons Movie

There has been plenty of media interest in BBC Films’s announcement that they and Harbour Pictures have appointed Tom and Charlie Guard to direct their new cinema adaptation of Swallows and Amazons.

We expect further news on the film in the next two or three weeks. It is still possible, although very unlikely, that filming could take place this autumn. If not, the earliest start date for principal photography will be in the late spring of 2012. 

Development Work Continues on Swallows and Amazons Movie

Development work on the proposed movie adaptation of Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons was originally announced by BBC Films and Harbour Pictures in 2007. According to reports in The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, the producers have now appointed brothers Tom and Charlie Guard as Directors. Neither pre-production nor a start date have been announced yet, but we’ll report further progress as and when we can.
