Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy have officially signed on for the leading roles in the upcoming film adaptation of The Magic Faraway Tree.
Garfield and Foy are expected to play married couple, Tim and Polly. After moving to a remote English countryside, their family is introduced to a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents. Production is currently slated to begin sometime next month.
“To have two actors of the quality of Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy is a dream for any screenwriter,” writer Simon Farnaby said in a statement. “I have long admired their warmth, wit and lightness of touch. Plus they have the power to imbue their characters’ complexities that I don’t have the power to write . . . I mean, even Enid Blyton might be impressed we got Spider-Man and the Queen.
“The film follows Polly and Tim and their children Beth, Joe and Fran — a modern family who find themselves forced to relocate to the remote English countryside,” reads the synopsis. “Soon after the family’s arrival in the countryside, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents including treasured characters Moonface, Silky, Dame Washalot and Saucepan Man.
