According to "Variety", Her Cinematic Highness Judi Dench (bow immediately), whom you will see later this Autumn in SKYFALL as James Bond's boss, has found herself another interesting project: she and Steve
Coogan will lead the cast in tragic drama PHILOMENA which is to be directed by famous Stephen Frears (who worked with almost all lady legends - with Dench in MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS, with Helen Mirren in THE QUEEN and with Glenn Close in DANGEROUS LIAISONS). It will be the true story of an Irish woman whose son was sold for adoption in America, and their attempts to reunite with each other. Dench will play the title role in this movie adaptation of Martin Sixsmith's book "The Lost Child of Philomena Lee: A Mother, Her Son and a 50 Year Search", which describes how PHILOMENA was forced by nuns to give up her son Anthony when he was 3. Anthony was sold for adoption in America, where he grew up to be a successful lawyer and politician. In the 1980s, after he contracted AIDS, he visited Ireland in an attempt to find his mother.
