Based on the best-selling series of boarding school books written by Geoffrey Willans and illustrated by Ronald Searle, ‘Molesworth’ tells the story of Nigel Molesworth, a self-confident, tousle-haired public school boy with a mischievous nature and a penchant for power. The character was first drawn by Ronald Searle for his Punch magazine comic strip and later developed into a series of books, first published in 1953.
Starring Matt Lucas in the title role, the film will be co-produced with Uli Meyer Studios and Mélusine Productions. GFM Animation has come on board, handling international sales.
