    1. I think it’s a more historical version of the same story. It premiered in the UK late last year & got decent reviews from ppl who hate Braveheart, so there’s that ;)

  1. I’m just so heartbroken over Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears. I really wanted to see it on the big screen, but I knew the U.S. screenings would be limited to begin with. Then they announced a date for my small city! I bought a ticket the day they went on sale. But that date was … this coming Saturday. I got an email from the theater, along with a refund, last night. :( Maybe they’ll reschedule it, but I doubt it. Still, I’ll be glad to see it on Acorn.

    1. Honestly I’m considering getting an Acorn subscription. There’s so many good shows on there, and I need to be able to see Miss Fisher!

    2. We had tickets for a screening as well that was cancelled. Sad times, when we NEED entertainment!

  2. I’m hoping all of you at FrockFlicks are well and have enough food and staples during this COVD plague.

    Now I’m looking forward to Self-Made, Radioactive, Robert the Bruce (hopefully based on the Traintor trilogy of books), Belgravia, World on Fire, Last Vermeer (I’m familiar with the Nazi forgeries) and De Gaulle. Miss Fisher, I’ll stream, and last but not least Natalie Dormer in Penny Dreadful: City of Angels.

  3. Some of these have been postponed. I believe the David Copperfield one has been indefinitely.

  4. Radium Girls is now post-phoned indefinitely. I’m particularly sad about that one — it was only shown once at a film festival, & I’ve been waiting for a wider release for over a year :(

    1. That’s too bad. I recently read a non fiction book about them, and am curious how the movie holds up.

  5. I have been waiting to see the CJ Walker story and the True story of the Kelly Gang. I have been obsessed with both stories since I heard about them on Stuff You Missed in History Class.

      1. I love the one of her in puppy ears that she tweeted to her daughter, Finty.

  6. The Nightingale trailer doesn’t look like its description; are there two films with the same name?

    1. Yup, you’re right — Kendra mixed them up! There was a different ‘Nightingale’ late last year that was set in the mid-19th-c. & was a very dark story.

  7. Loved the David Copperfield – very glad I got to see it before everything went pear-shaped. (Costumes not invariably right, but so much zest and genuine diversity in the film.)

  8. Darn it, only Belgravia appeals to me…not much to look forward to here. Possibly The Great, though she has been done to death, no offense. All we need now is another Wuthering Heights or Jane Eyre…

  9. Self-Made is about an awesome woman AND isn’t postponed. I”mm looking forward to it.

  10. I am looking forward to most of these, but especially The Great. It looks hilariously charming in an offbeat kind of way and I’m becoming quite a fan of Elle Fanning. I absolutely love her in costume dramas, she has a period look that suits them well.

    Not sure why they are releasing three of these things on March 20th. Not that I don’t love having them all at my fingertips, but… goodness, spread them out a little! :P

    Bummer so many of these have been postponed, but we’ll get them sooner or later — on the big screen or a small one.

  11. I LOVE Ralph Fiennes and am so looking forward to seeing him as an early 20th-century bad ass in The King’s Man. He’s the only reason I’m going to see it, as I thought the first movie in the series was so tacky and terrible that I didn’t bother to see the second one. I have higher hopes for The King’s Man as a costume drama prequel. I’m looking forward to The Banker and World on Fire. I was excited about the Madame CJ Walker story and Belgravia, but now I fear they will be cheesy, despite having talented people involved. I didn’t know about The Last Vermeer or Blithe Spirit until reading this post. The Last Vermeer looks very interesting, but that overblown music in the trailer makes it seem like it will be cheesy. Fingers crossed that was just tacky trailer music and not an indication of the mood and tone of the movie. Guy Pearce and Claes Bang are talented, and the look of the movie is enticing. Noel Coward was a genius and Judi Dench is a genius, so I think Blithe Spirit will probably be genius. Thanks so much for letting us know what to look forward to!

  12. Is the Green Knight Too fantasy-y to qualify as a frock flick? I’m hopping the costumes will be more interesting than the teaser suggested once we see more of it.

  13. Watched the first episode of Belgravia and thus far it’s much better written and costumed than other recent dramas like Sanditon etc. Also not one woman has her hair down. It’s up people, rejoice!!!

  14. With the exception of Belgravia, there is nothing here that interests me. Maybe Casanova but it looks relentlessly vulgar and I have no patience for that anymore.

  15. Blithe Spirit looks like fun, but do we need another David Copperfield? Dickens did write so many other novels.

  16. Lots of great flicks and tv shows–hope I get to see them. Just got an Apple TV free trial so I will plan to watch The Bankers. Self-Made looks great. Also interested in Radium Girls, World on Fire, Radioactive, The Last Vermeer, and De Gaulle. Curious about Secret Garden, David Copperfield, and Blithe Spirit (looks pretty funny). Hope these don’t all get pushed so far, but who knows with this crazy situation. I am grateful I have access to Netflix, Prime, and Apple TV now.
