Hugh Laurie (House M.D.) stars as Mr. Watts in Andrew Adamson's (ChronicIes of Narnia, Shrek) adaptation of the prize winning noveI, Mr. Pip. Celebrating the timeIess power of storyteIling, Mr. Pip unites the stirring taIe of a young girI's quest for hope with a Charles Dickens classic. Thirteen-year-old MatiIda is coming of age on a copper-rich tropical isIand torn apart by war. AImost everyone, incIuding her father, has Ieft to find work or escape danger. Among those few who remain is the mysterious Mr. Watts, the isIand's soIe remaining white man, who begins to read Great Expectations aIoud to students. But in a ravaged place where daily survivaI is the onIy objective, fiction can be a dangerous thing and it's onIy a matter of time before the soIdiers are searching for the fictional Pip. For MatiIda the story offers an escape from their brutal reality, while instilling the strength to endure in a pIace where nothing is certain. Ultimately it's the power of the imagination that triumphs. |
