Even in the best/worst of times that Charles Dickens wrote about, the razor sharp writing/directing team of Armando Iannucci and Simon Blackwell (In The Loop) still manage to weave their dark, playful, quick-as-a-whip humor into something decidedly less political than The Thick of It, In The Loop, and Veep.

Without knowing too much about the movie other than following around Dickens’ David Copperfield, there’s a chance that Tilda Swinton might steal a scene or two.

See for yourself in the trailer for The Personal History of David Copperfield here.

Armando Iannucci’s ‘The Personal History of David Copperfield’ to Come Out in 2020 from Fox Searchlight

OK, Armando Iannucci’s take on Charles Dickens’ David Copperfield with Dev Patel starring might be (and we now this is a hot, hot take here) one of those rare instances where the movie is better than the books. 

In case you forgot, Iannucci is the mastermind behind some of the best comedy of the 21st century including In The Loop, Thick of It, Death of Stalin, and Veep. Ianucci’s Personal History of David Copperfield ought to be one nice thing to look forward to (in what will very likely be a more stressful year than 2019).
