Overview
- Dragonfly begins its UK theatrical run today following a high-profile opening night at Newcastle’s Tyneside Cinema.
- Appearing on ITV’s This Morning, Blethyn said she initially turned down the role before being persuaded by Paul Andrew Williams’s script and Andrea Riseborough’s attachment.
- Blethyn clarified that ITV’s Vera is unlikely to resume as an ongoing series, citing the removal of the set, though she would leap at the chance to film a special.
- Blethyn and Riseborough shared Tribeca’s Performance Award for Dragonfly and are jointly nominated for Best Joint Performance at the upcoming BIFAs.
- The film, shot in Yorkshire, examines loneliness through a fragile connection between neighbours and features a cameo from Jason Watkins.
