Summary

"The Lost King" had its world premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received positive reviews, and it is now being released in theaters in the U.S. by IFC Films. Part of the film's charm comes from its irresistible cast, but another part comes from the delightful screenplay, which is based on an incredible true story. Co-screenwriter Jeff Pope was nice enough to spend some time talking with us about his work on the film, working with co-screenwriter Steve Coogan, how director Stephen Frears brought the story to life, and more!
