RadioTimes.com<\/a> can now exclusively reveal a first look at the trailer for the film.<\/p>\nThe trailer introduces us to Philippa Langley (Hawkins) who we first meet as she struggles with an unfulfilling job where she is frequently undermined by her male colleagues.<\/p>\n
Everything changes, however, when she attends a theatre production of Shakespeare\u2019s Richard III with her son. The play famously portrays the monarch as a brutal killer \u2013 as did much of the historical record \u2013 but Philippa instantly believes he is being unfairly represented.<\/p>\n
\u201cI actually felt sorry for him,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n
She begins to take a keen interest in learning all she can about his life and is seen in the trailer purchasing eight books, joining the local King Richard III society, and starting her mission to find his grave.<\/p>
And Richard himself even makes a few appearances, with Philippa seen telling him, \u201cI know you\u2019re some sort of apparition. I\u2019ve been trying to work out why you\u2019re here. I wonder if it\u2019s because you\u2019re lost.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not everyone seems so optimistic about her new mission, however. Her husband John (Steve Coogan) is seen looking disbelieving when she reveals her plan and even the apparition of Richard himself seem a little concerned, telling her: \u201cThis is starting to look like an unhealthy obsession.\u201d<\/p>\n
But Philippa appears defiant in her mission, explaining: \u201cAll the information I need to find him, it\u2019s all out there. But I don\u2019t think anybody\u2019s brought it all together before.\u201d<\/p>\n
And as the trailer shows, Philippa is eventually vindicated, with the remains discovered in the most unlikely of places.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m here to tell you a story, about a person who was judged unfairly in life,\u201d she says towards the end of the clip. You can watch it in full below.<\/p>
