Never Let Me Go – Starring Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield & Keira Knightley Will Open The 54th BFI London Film Festival
Aug 6th
The 54th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express, have just announced that this year’s Festival will open on Wednesday 13 October with the European premiere of NEVER LET ME GO, directed by Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo), the film is based on Kauzo Ishiguro’s much acclaimed novel of the same name and is Romanek’s first film since 2002’s One Hour Photo – he was set to direct The Wolfman but left due to creative differences. I think this is a great film to open the festival with, from the trailer this film looks, tender, brooding and all around fantastic, a terrific way to kick off what I’m sure will be a terrific festival. The stars of the film are expected to attend the opening night screening, including Oscar® nominee Keira Knightley (Pride & Prejudice, Atonement), BAFTA winner and Oscar® nominee Carey Mulligan (An Education) and BAFTA TV award winner Andrew Garfield (Boy A, Red Riding).
Sandra Hebron, the Festival’s Artistic Director comments: “’It is a great pleasure to be able to open the festival with a film as accomplished and imaginative as NEVER LET ME GO. It combines impeccable film making, outstanding performances and a deeply moving story, and I couldn’t wish for a stronger or more appropriate opening night.”
Director Mark Romanek adds: “I think I can speak for the entire cast and crew when I say that we are deeply honored and excited to have been selected to open this year’s festival. For me personally, it seems the perfect way to celebrate the conclusion of an incredible filmmaking experience in the UK.”
The full programme for The 54th BFI London Film Festival will be announced at the Press Launch on Wednesday 8 September. I’ll be in attendance throughout the festival, expect to see a gazillion interviews, reviews and random bits and bobs throughout October!

This poster for Mark Romanek’s film, “Never Let Me Go” perfectly captures the tender, yet brooding trailer that hit the interwebs last month. The film is based on Kauzo Ishiguro’s much acclaimed novel of the same name and is Romanek’s fist film since 2002’s One Hour Photo – he was set to direct The Wolfman but left due to creative differences. I’m a big fan of both Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield (the new Spiderman), Keira Knightley is meh-ness/10 for me, I’ve never been the biggest fan. All in all this looks fantastic. Check out the synopsis below.

Never Let Me Go comes to theaters October 1st, 2010 and stars Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley, Sally Hawkins, Andrew Garfield, Charlotte Rampling, Domhnall Gleeson, Charlie Rowe, Andrea Riseborough.

The trailer for Mark Romanek’s highly anticipated film, “Never Let Me Go” has hit the interwebs and it looks like a cracker! The film is based on Kauzo Ishiguro’s novel of the same name, which as the trailer discreetly points out is apparently ‘the novel of the decade – Time Magazine’. This looks like certain Oscar bait. Never Let Me Go is Romanek’s fist film since 2002′s One Hour Photo, since then he’s had a couple films collapse around him – he was set to direct The Wolfman but left due to creative differences.
