Her Majesty the Queen may very well be amused by A Royal Night Out, only because it deviates so far from what might plausibly have happened on Ve night, 1945, when she and Princess Margaret celebrated the end of the war in Europe among the commoners on the streets of London. Director Julian Jarrold makes no bones about the fact-less, fancy-freeness of it all, turning a royal anecdote into a screwball comedy of sorts, but where's the punchline?
Up-and-coming Canadian actress Sarah Gadon is a dead ringer for the future monarch "Lilibet" and she imbues her with the requisite youthful whimsy as she yearns to be among the people on this most special night - before the burden of having to rule over them. But Jarrold (Kinky Boots,...

There were always going to be knock-on effects from the staggering success of "The King's Speech," and already we've seen Madonna's hamfisted attempt take on some of the same events in "W.E," while stammering Bertie and his Queen Elizabeth will be back on screens later this year, played by Sam West and Olivia Colman, opposite Bill Murray's President Roosevelt in "Hyde Park On Hudson." But there's one other film set around the same kind of time period on the way, a project that's just found a princess. Dakota Fanning had been attached to "Girl's Night Out," a romantic comedy from writer Trevor De Silva, for nearly a year. The script tells the story of young Princess Margaret (the role Fanning was to have taken) and her sister Elizabeth (the current Queen Elizabeth II), who are allowed to celebrate incognito with their subjects on V.E. Day, the night...

Forget the Queen watching (and apparently enjoying) The King’s Speech. We’d be much more interested to hear what Her Maj thinks of this project: Michael Hoffman is planning Girls’ Night Out, which will feature the romantic adventures of a teenage princess Margaret and her sister Elizabeth on Ve Day, with Dakota Fanning brushing up her best British accent to play Margaret. Hoffman, who is currently hard at work on the remake of Gambit with Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz, is looking to move on to Girls’ Night Out next. Apparently, it’s inspired by the true events that occurred when then-teenagers Margaret and Elizabeth were allowed out from Buckingham Palace to join the celebrations on May 8, 1945.Trevor De Silva’s script is described as a “romantic fairytale,” though we bet the writer and director will be hoping the Queen approves or they could both be spending some quality time in the Tower.

Director Michael Hoffman has successfully courted Dakota Fanning to star in his upcoming film, “Girls Night Out,” set against the backdrop of V.E. Day in 1945.
Based on a true story, this romantic fairytale follows the then-teenaged Princess Margaret and her sister Princess Elizabeth (Britain’s current reigning queen) as they escape are let out of Buckingham Palace for one night to join in the celebrations—and get into some trouble in an adventurous night on the town.
Fanning will play Princess Margaret. No word yet on which lucky starlet will snap up the role of her partner-in-crime, Variety reports.
Penned by Trevor De Silva (who is relatively new to the scene), the story promises “thrills, romance and danger.”
Oh my!
With two mischievous princesses running wild in the midst of the end of a major world war, we only hope it can deliver.
If all goes according to plan,...

Variety is today reporting that 16 year old Dakota Fanning has signed up to star as Princess Margaret, in Michael Hoffman’s Girls' Night Out.
The story, based on true events, will see Fanning “play a teenage Princess Margaret on V.E. Day in 1945. When she and her sister Elizabeth are allowed out from Buckingham Palace for one night to join in the celebrations, the night encompasses thrills, romance and danger.” The film is being produced by Ecosse films and the script, inspired by true events, was penned by Trevor de Silva.
It seems a shame to cast an American actress, however talented, in such a quintessentially English role, when there are so many talented young British actresses out there. Let's hope Dakota can polish up her Rp accent.
Casting for Princess Elizabeth will be announced soon. We can only hope they cast a British actress in that role!

Ve Day. 1945. The Allied Forces formally accept the surrender of Nazi Germany. For one night only, the teenage Princesses Margaret and Elizabeth are allowed out of Buckingham Palace to celebrate. Did that actually happen? I have no idea, but it’s the premise for the next project from director Michael Hoffman (The Last Station, One Fine Day, Soapdish). According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hoffman has cast Dakota Fanning as Margaret and is currently looking for his young Elizabeth (who people now know as the Queen of England (who just celebrated Ascension Day (so hopefully a young princess was allowed to go out and celebrate))). Historical fiction just hits me in the right spot, so I’m on board all the way. Hoffman continues to be an interesting director, and even though his work tends to be better if he writes the script as well, Girls’ Night Out was written by newcomer Trevor de Silva and was on...
