Jim Broadbent is set to star alongside Colin Firth in When Did You Last See Your Father?, which is based on Blake Morrison’s memoir of life with his dad.
Firth will play the grown poet, while Jim Broadbent stars as his father between the ages of 35 and 70. Anand Tucker – who dropped out of directing The Golden Compass (AKA the first His Dark Materials entry) – will step behind the camera to helm a script adapted by Simpatico writer David Nicholls.
