Photo Coverage: The History Boys at AFI Fest
AFI Fest
2006 presented by Audi: AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival
presented Fox Searchlight Pictures' The History Boys in its North
American premiere November 4, 2006 at the Arclight cinema in Hollywood.
On hand for the premiere was the film's director Nicholas Hytner, cast members Richard Griffiths, Dominic Cooper, Samuel Barnett and Francis de la Tour.
"The History Boys tells the story of an uruly class of bright, funny history students in pursuit of an undergraduate place at Oxford or Cambridge. Bounced between their maverick English master (Griffiths), a young and shrewd teacher hired to up their test scores (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grossly out-numbered history teacher (de la Tour), and a headmaster obsessed with results (Clive Merrrison), the history boys attempt to sift through it all to pass the daunting university admissions process. Their journey becomes as much about how education works, as it is about where education leads," state notes.
The film, based on the five time Tony award-winning play of the same name, uses the original stage production's talent. Directed by Nicholas Hynter and adapted for the screen by playwright Alan Bennett, The History Boys is set to open November 21, 2006 in the US.
