How did you collaborate with Steven, and how much did you talk with Philippa prior to writing the screenplay?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: Yes, we spent a lot of time with Philippa, who lives in Edinburgh. We numerous conversations, but there was one particular time when we went and spent three or four days with her. We walked around the city, and we discussed many aspects of the story with her.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And there were lots of other books as well. There was one I particularly remember that was written by John Ashdown-Hill, the late historian [<i>The Last Days of Richard III (and the Fate of His DNA<\/i>), 2013]. And also books which were written before the discovery of the remains of Richard III, about his life. So that we understood not just Philippa\u2019s story but Richard\u2019s story, too.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: There is a documentary as well, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: Yes, it was broadcast on the UK television, and it was \u201c[Richard III:] The King in the Car Park\u201d [dir. Louise Osmond and Pete Woods, 2013].<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Good title. Why do you think that people have such a dim view on Richard III, is it because of Shakespeare\u2019s play?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: Yes, it is, yes. He is perhaps one of the most vilified monarchs, certainly in British history. There\u2019s a line in the film which reflects this. One of the most interesting discoveries was the time gap between<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>the death of Richard III and Shakespeare writing his play \u201cRichard III\u201d, and there\u2019s more than a hundred years between those two things happening.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>I must admit I\u2019d always felt that Shakespeare \u2014 in my head I\u2019m thinking he\u2019s writing a sort of contemporary history, something that\u2019s happened maybe five or ten years ago. But that\u2019s three generations, previously, so that made us reflect on the notion that what Shakespeare was doing was using the Tudor version of Richard\u2019s story rather than necessarily a non-biased version of his story.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Even though Philippa gathered all the funding, the university withdrew the funding with Richard Buckley (played by Mark Addy). Why is the university leading the search or digging? Why was she excluded from the press conferences? Do you think they are afraid of losing credibility if they put Philippa on the podium?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: Yes, what happened here is two things. For me, the most significant conclusion I came to with Steve was that Philippa really found the remains of Richard III partially by research and academic study. She looked at what was written in the past. But a huge part of the reason why she found him was her intuition. That whole sequence where she stands in the car park and gets a weird feeling and looks down and sees the painted letter \u201cR\u201d \u2014 that all happened. That was a feeling. That was intuition, and the academics are suspicious of this. It\u2019s outside their comfort zone. I think the university was slightly embarrassed that a middle-aged housewife from Edinburgh found him when they couldn\u2019t.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15767\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1-1024x625.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1-1024x625.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1-768x468.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1-696x424.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1-1068x651.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1-689x420.jpg 689w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King1.jpg 1256w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Part of the attraction of this film is the relationship between Philippa and her ex-husband John [played by Steve Coogan]. How did you construct their relationship in the script, as you<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>balance that out with her exploration?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: My big thing as a writer is that I tend to gravitate towards stories that are based on actual events, because therein you avoid cliche, because we all behave and speak and express ourselves differently. So what I liked once we dug into this was that there was something interesting and non-cliched about John and Philippa, and it was that they shared their sons, but they were happily divorced. There was a sadness on both their parts that they weren\u2019t together, but yet a realization that it wouldn\u2019t work with them being together. There was no other people involved, there was no bitterness \u2014 just a kind of sad realization on both their parts that they weren\u2019t going to spend the rest of their lives together. We felt that was really interesting to reflect that accurately rather than to try and fit it into some kind of<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>pigeonhole.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: It is said that history is often written by the winners.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>During the process of adapting and your research about Richard III, what are the things that most surprised you about Richard III that you didn\u2019t know about?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: Well, you\u2019re quite right about history being written by the victors, and in a sense \u2014 until this movie came along \u2014 the history of how Richard III was found was written by Leicester University more than Philippa.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The thing that really surprised me was the principle in English lore of \u201cinnocent until proven guilty\u201d was established by Richard III. So much came from that because you think \u201cThat doesn\u2019t sound like a despot\u201d. That doesn\u2019t sound like an evil person \u2014 in the modern day, a dictator, effectively. You know, a Stalin or a Hitler; the last thing they wanted was fair trials. Yes, that was the most fascinating thing that we discovered.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: In the depiction of Richard III, how much was originally written in the book and how much did you reflect in the film?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: Well, we had all the basics from Shakespeare, that Richard was evil, and that he murdered the princes and he murdered his wife and he murdered his brother. But we had to go into it with an open mind, and we had to try and understand Philippa, who had spent many years trying to [unpack] that. So what we did was to go sideways: we challenged it. What were the facts? What independent sources, i.e. non-Tudor sources, are there for events in Richard\u2019s life? We pieced together in our heads a version of Richard\u2019s story which we felt was more balanced.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: What do you want the audiences to take way from this wonderful film?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>JP: It\u2019s to trust your instincts, to trust your feelings. We\u2019re told in life a lot that we [are to] defer to our betters \u2014 our elders, our betters \u2014 and that they know best. And sometimes in life, you get a feeling about something and very often that is spot-on, that is accurate.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a woman who was ignored, marginalized, pushed to one side, and yet the fact that she found Richard III by just plugging into her instincts and her feelings doesn\u2019t diminish what she achieved. So listen to yourself. And never underestimate middle-aged housewives.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Q: Thank you so much.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-15768\" src=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2-1024x737.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"501\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2-1024x737.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2-300x216.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2-768x553.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2-696x501.jpg 696w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2-1068x769.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2-583x420.jpg 583w, https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/The-Lost-King2.jpg 1164w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/author\/nobuhosokigmail-com\/\">Check out more of Nobuhiro&#8217;s articles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the trailer of the film<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"TXxRfhQFuV4\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Lost King - Official Trailer | HD | IFC Films\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TXxRfhQFuV4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Synopsis : In this inspiring true story, amateur historian Philippa Langley believes she has made the archeological find of the century: the lost burial site of King Richard III.
