Primo still:CITAZIONEAs reported by the Daily Mail, Holliday Grainger is in talks for a role in the film version of Laura Wade's play Posh for Blueprint Pictures. The movie is directed by Lone Scherfig (An Education).
Read the original report here.
As BWW previously reported, Max Irons, Sam Claflin and Douglas Booth are also in negotiations to appear in Posh. Robert Pattinson was under consideration but has opted not to take part in the project. Irons (The Host) is being considered for the lead role, and Grainger, if she accepts the offer, would play his girlfriend.
The Royal Court's summer 2012 West End-transfer production of Posh was described as, "In an oak-panelled room in Oxford, ten young bloods with cut-glass vowels and deep pockets are meeting, intent on restoring their right to rule. Members of an elite student dining society, the boys are bunkering down for a wild night of debauchery, decadence and bloody good wine. But this isn't just a jolly: they're planning a revolution. Welcome to the Riot Club."
Grainger currently stars as 'Lucrezia Borgia' in The Borgias and appeared as 'Estella' in 2012's film version of Great Expectations. She has also appeared on the big screen in The Scouting Book for Boys, Anna Karenina, Bel Ami, Jane Eyre, and in the TV series Demons and Waterloo Road and Where the Heart Is, among many other credits.

Questa è la trama: CITAZIONETen members of "The Riot Club", an exclusive Oxford University dining club, have rented out a country pub's dining room for their termly dinner. Their president, James, who is about to leave university, is falling out of love with the club and promises the suspicious landlord Chris and his waitress daughter Rachel that he will keep things under control. While James avoids his presidential duties, others vie for his position. Inspired by his godfather Jeremy, a former Riot Club member and now a Tory MP, Guy tries to impress the boys with a "ten bird roast'. Others are less restrained; one has hired Charlie the prostitute. When Charlie arrives she refuses to get under the table and perform oral sex on the boys; they are surprised at her scruples.
As the members get more drunk and rowdy their bullying of each other and of Chris and Rachel gets worse. They try to force Rachel to kiss them all; she runs out and they wreck the room. Chris bursts in outraged and the members assault him, knocking him out. Horrified, they panic and bar the door, despite the landlord being seriously hurt. Eventually they all agree to pin the blame on Alistair, who has consistently riled them throughout the night. They agree that, as they will all end up being successful, they will look after Alistair after university and make sure they 'see him right'. They open the door to the distraught Rachel and allow her to call an ambulance.
Weeks later Alistair meets with Jeremy, who has successfully managed to weaken the charge against Alistair and effectively get him off the hook. Intrigued by Alistair's politics, Jeremy promises Alistair that he will be keeping a close eye on Alistair in future and that he has high hopes for him.

CITAZIONEWe somehow missed this report from last month, but Britain’s The Daily Mail reports “The Borgias” actress Holliday Grainger is in talks for one of the few female roles in the film, while Emma Watson also met with the director but ultimately couldn’t take a different role. Daily Mail also updates Robert Pattinson has passed on the project.
ORIGINAL ARTICLE: The gang’s almost all here. After initial reports of negotiations in March, British actors Sam Claflin (“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire”) and Douglas Booth (“Jupiter Ascending”) have now officially joined Max Irons (“The Host”) in Lone Scherfig’s adaptation of Laura Wade’s 2010 play “Posh”, according to THR.
Laura Wade’s 2010 hit play of the same name concerned The Riot Club, a fictional version of The Bullingdon Club, an exclusive society at Oxford University to which such prominent British figures as Prime Minister David Cameron belonged. The entire play is set over the course of one evening when the ten members of the club have their termly dinner. As their President, James, considers leaving his post, the other boys jocky for position, leading to tragic consequences.

CITAZIONEDIRECTOR: Lone Scherfig
SCREENPLAY: Laura Wade
PRODUCERS: Graham Broadbent, Pete Czernin
CAST: Sam Claflin, Max Irons, Douglas Booth, Holliday Grainger, Jessica Brown Findlay
The dreaming spires of Oxford University, where Bentleys are driven into rivers and champagne is guzzled like water. The hottest invitation is to the Riot Club; a world where the bright, privileged and wealthy take their first steps in becoming the future masters of the universe.
Miles and Alistair are in their first year: both dazzlingly clever and offspring of pillars of the Establishment. Alistair, pressured by a family legacy of social success, is ruthlessly determined to become a member of this exclusive club. Miles has been seduced by the social kudos of the invitation, but his heart isn’t in it.
On a debauched and decadent night out, the club’s leaders invite them both to see if they’ve got what it takes to belong. Their personal rivalry and jealousy ignite an evening where verbal pyrotechnics and vaulting ambition reign and eventually the wolf pack turn on one of their own.
In the same vein as The Social Network, Posh exposes the insecurities and viciousness of the young elite.

CITAZIONEPosh was adapted from a play by Laura Wade. It centers around two first-year students at Oxford University who join the fictional Riot Club – an elite Oxbridge dining society – which meets regularly in a private dining room of a pub, and member’s reputations can be made or destroyed over the course of a single evening. Radio Times added, “In the play, the debauched group encounters excessive drinking, prostitution and leaves a trail of “glorious destruction” in their wake.” Sounds like these boys are going to get into trouble!
The play debuted at the Royal Court Theatre in London and launched The Game of Thrones’ star, Kitt Harrington’s, career. Max Irons is taking on Harrington’s role in the film adaptation, with Lone Scherfig (An Education) directing.

.CITAZIONE‘An Education’ director Lone Scherfig adapts Laura Wade's controversial play, with a cast of up-and-coming British stars including Sam Claflin, Natalie Dormer and Max ‘son of Jeremy’ Irons. When Wade’s play about a group of privileged public-school psychos calling themselves The Riot Club premiered during the General Election in 2010, reviews ranged from five-star raves like the one in Time Out to cries of anti-establishment slander. Let’s hope the film can retain that sense of spiky, class-baiting insouciance, and not water down the play’s obvious parallels with the past history of many of our leading politicians. Scherfig’s ‘An Education’ was a smart look at Britain’s cultural landscape back in the ’60s, let’s hope she can turn that keen eye on a more modern topic.

.CITAZIONEFeaturing, not one, not two, but three of Hunger’s Mighty Blighty Issue 6 stars, The Riot Club is a forthcoming film adaptation of Laura Wade’s acclaimed play, Posh. Today we’ve finally been treated to the much anticipated first trailer, and it’s good.
Sam Claflin, Holliday Grainger and Tom Hollander star alongside fellow Brits Max Irons and Douglas Booth in this drama-fuelled feature directed by Lone Scherfig, who you will no doubt be familiar with thanks to her Best Picture Academy Award nominee An Education and the recent cry fest that was One Day. When we caught up with Claflin for our Spring/Summer Issue, he commended his Riot Club cast members, saying that he believes them to be “the epitome of young, amazing British talent”, and he wasn’t lying.
The film follows two first year Oxford University students (played by Irons and Claflin), adamant to join the infamous Riot Club, a fictionalised version of the famed Bullingdon Club. And by the looks of things, as the film unfolds, their rowdy rich boy antics get a little out of control: we spot violence, tears and a blood-covered Irons looking rather taken aback.
While Claflin has bagged quite a few blockbuster roles as of late, most recently playing Finnick in the second instalment of The Hunger Games, it looks like The Riot Club will see Claflin take on a darker role: “When I read the script for the first time I was blown away. It’s a world that I’m not familiar with whatsoever, so I knew it was going to be challenging. I thought that it was my opportunity to prove to the world that I can do more than just be the guy who falls in love.”
Grainger plays Iron’s love interest, “a Northern, working-class, slightly socialist, vaguely intelligent young girl”.
In her interview with Hunger, the Manchester-born actress told us: “It was a great job to walk into. Especially as I’d just come back from Louisiana where I knew no one. It was great walking into the set of Posh where I knew most of the guys, and if I hadn’t met them personally, then they were best friends with one of my best friends.”
The Riot Club is out on the 19th September 2014.
