Just found out that this great, period short based on a novel (Mr. Malcolm’s List) will be getting a movie version as well! Starring Sope Dirisu in the titular role of Mr. Malcolm, with Constance Wu replacing Gemma Chan as Julia, Freida Pinto reprising her role of Selina, Oliver Jackson-Cohen reprising his role as lord Cassidy and adding Outlander’s Sam Heughan to the incredible cast, who is set to portray Henry! I adore Gemma Chan, so I’m a little sad that she’s no longer set to star, but Constance Wu is great in her own right!
Directed by Emma Holly Jones and written by Suzanne Allain and based on her script and novel of the same name, Mr. Malcolm’s List is set in early 1800s England and follows a young lady (Gemma Chan) engaging in courtship with a mysterious and wealthy suitor, Mr. Malcolm, unaware of his unattainable list of demands for his future wife.
