About "Summer in february" ... and more

Since falling in love with Dan Stevens I've been looking what he is up to... Sadly couldn't see him on Broadway, so -  watched new season of "Downton Abbey" (last one for him...), reading different articles and visiting his UK site... Knew he was making a new movie, but just now found out about it's releasing date in UK:
June 14, 2013
(Info came from Jameson Dublin International Film Festival)
Looking forward to seeing him on big screen...

Director: Christopher Menaul
Year: 2012
Country of Origin: UK
Duration: 89 minutes

Veteran director Christopher Menaul (Fatherland, The Forsyte Saga) directs this compelling true story of love among bohemian artists on the eve of the First World War. Adapted from Jonathan Smith’s novel, Summer in February follows Florence Carter-Wood (Emily Browning), an aspiring artist who takes refuge from her father’s choice of suitor at Lamorna, a windswept artists’ colony in Cornwall. There she finds herself torn between Captain Gilbert Evans (Dan Stevens), a Boer War veteran and consummate gentleman, and AJ Munnings (Dominic Cooper), a hot-tempered and visionary artist. But when Florence acquiesces to a hasty marriage, she quickly begins to feel trapped.

Menaul captures the vertiginous cliffs and sparkling light of the Cornish coast but holds the melodrama at bay as the tension builds. Australian actress Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) is utterly convincing as Florence, while Dominic Cooper (Mamma Mia, My Week with Marilyn) brings a convincing passion to Munnings and Dan Stephens is characteristically dignified as lovesick Captain Evans. An excellent supporting cast is enlivened by brief cameos from Camille O’Sullivan and English folk star Seth Lakeman.
