First images for The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society

Principal photography has wrapped on the adaptation of Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows’ best-selling novel and the first official photography reveals the film’s lead actors.

Lily James (Cinderella, War & Peace) stars as free-spirted journalist Juliet Ashton and Michiel Huisman (The Age Of Adeline, Game Of Thrones) as Dawsey Adams, a member of the eccentric and delightful Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society who is Juliet’s first contact when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey during WWII.

Directed by Mike Newell (Four Weddings And A Funeral, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire) from a script written by Don Roos (Marley & Me, The Opposite Of Sex) adapted from the international best-selling novel of the same name, the film also stars Glen Powell (Everybody Wants Some, Hidden Figures), Matthew Goode (The Imitation Game, Downton Abbey), Jessica Brown Findlay (Victor Frankenstein, Downton Abbey) with Tom Courtenay (45 Years, Doctor Zhivago) and Penelope Wilton (The BFG, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel).
