The inaugural British Film Festival opens this November at Palace Cinemas, with exclusive screenings of ONE CHANCE. Director David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada, Hope Springs) brings to the silver screen the remarkable rags to riches story of Paul Potts, the shy winner of the first season of Britain’s Got Talent. A bullied shop assistant by day and an amateur opera singer by night, Paul Potts (James Corden)’s frivolous dreams are supported by no one, aside from his doting mother (the wonderful Julie Walters) and later his wife (Alexandra Roach). A superb, celebratory crowd-pleaser, with a gorgeous performance from the affable Corden as an inspirational nobody who dared to follow his dream against all odds.
