Two New Clips From Phyllida Lloyd‘s Margaret Thatcher Biopic ‘The Iron Lady’ – Starring Meryl Streep

Pathe has let loose these two new clips from Phyllida Lloyd’s (Mamma Mia!) ’The Iron Lady,’ which stars Meryl Streep as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. ‘The Iron Lady’ tells the story of “Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.”

Alexandra Roach and Harry Lloyd will portray the Thatchers in their younger years, Jim Broadbent will play Denis Thatcher. Olivia Colman, Nicholas Farrell, Susan Brown, Roger Allam, Anthony Head, Julian Wadham, Pip Torrens, Nick Dunning, Richard E. Grant, David Westhead, Angus Wright and John Sessions are also among the bumper supporting cast for the biopic. ‘The Iron Lady’ is scheduled for release December 30th in the US, and January 6th in the UK. Look out for my interviews with the cast later this week.
