Anna Friel will star as Holly Golightly in a new stage adaptation of “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” previewing from Sept. 9 for a Sept. 29 opening at the Theater Royal Haymarket on London’s West End.
Sean Mathias will direct Samuel Adamson’s adaptation, based on the Truman Capote novella about a backwoods girl intoxicated by Manhattan high society. Joseph Cross (”Milk,” “Running With Scissors”) also stars.
Scheduled to run through Jan. 9, the play is the second in Mathias’ season at the Theater Royal Haymarket, following the revival of “Waiting for Godot,” with Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, which opened May 6. “Tiffany’s” is produced by Colin Ingram and presented by Chambord.
Friel will next be seen in Universal’s “Land of the Lost” and on BBC’s “The Street.” Her stage credits include “Lulu” at London’s Almeida and Patrick Marber’s “Closer” on Broadway.
As we all know, our very own Charlotte Charles (Anna Friel) will be starring in this summer’s LAND OF THE LOST along side Will Ferrell. Finally, a full preview is available and it aired multiple times during the Super Bowl.

The cast of PUSHING DAISIES was on hand for a press conference yesterday at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Check out some great pics of Lee, Anna, Kristin and Chi from the event.
A lot of you emailed us asking for hi-res Pushing Daisies cast photos and here they are. We apologize for giving these out in various posts but we wanted to make sure you got what you wanted!
Here are our individual hi-res cast photos for you to drool over, download and play with.
PUSHING DAISIES Season 2 kicks off October 1st but we’re going to jump to October 8th because we’ve got your first look at episode 2.02 entitled “Circus Circus” featuring stars Lee Pace, Anna Friel and Chi McBride. Squee…
Pushing Daisies Season 2 is just around the corner and finally some promo pics are starting to be released. Here are our favorite photos of stars Lee Pace and Anna Friel.
So you’ve seen the pictures and hopefully you’ve had the chance to listen to the full audio of the PUSHING DAISIES panel at Comic Con. But we understand that some of you have to be a little covert and maybe can’t be listening while at work or school, so we wanted to post a mini-recap of the panel itself for your reading pleasure.
We’ve broken in out into two sections, the first being general highlights from the panel and the second section being spoilerish information. If you want to avoid spoilers just stop reading when we tell you to.
Bryan Fuller and the cast are excited about the Comic Con Panel…
As happy as the audience would have been to watch the “Pie-lette” once again, it wasn’t in the original plans for Team Daisies. The panel’s opening video was supposed to be some footage from the PUSHING DAISIES Paley Fest panel, but as the now familiar scenes of the first episode aired Bryan Fuller and Barry Sonnenfeld rushed to the stage to stop the presses (or at least the video). Instead they showed the fantastic Season 2 teaser trailer which threw the already amped-up crowd into a tizzy. But not before Fuller was able to pimp the much anticipated launch date for Season 1 of PUSHING DAISIES on DVD (September 16th on DVD and Blu-Ray. Pre-order your copy here today.)
As the cast was introduced by moderator Barry Sonnenfeld’s acerbic comments, many of them took the stage by running past the front row and slapping hands with the audience. I almost lost an eye due to the Cheno fans behind me but it would have been well worth it. (I could always ask Aunt Viv for a fancy new eye-patch).
Anna Friel tried out her American accent on the crowd for a bit but we all quickly cheered her back into her British speak. (On a side note, Anna looked stunning in with her black dress and bright red lips)
Chi McBride, who was decked out in a colorful tee and jeans quipped that he was dressed for Comic Con while some of his co-stars were red carpet ready. Kristin and Anna both sported fantastic little black dresses for the event all looked all kinds of glam.
Barry Sonnenfeld read aloud a message that Team Daisies sexy mama bear, Ellen Greene, sent to the cast before their bus travels from L.A. to San Diego. She reminded them that the bus can get chilly so bring a sweater, and offered up some fun travel options including games and movies. She’s adorable!
