Opening today in cinemas in the UK, Creation is based on Randal Keynes biography of his great-great-grandfather Charles Darwin.
Creation is set in the mid-1800s and stars Paul Bettany, Jennifer Connelly and Silksoundbooks Star audio book reader Jeremy Northam. The movie examines the life of naturalist Charles Darwin and the strain his marriage undergoes when his evolutionary theories clash with his wife's religious beliefs.
The film was chosen to open the Toronto Film Festival and was developed by BBC Films and the UK Film Council.
Jeremy Northam is most renowned for his roles in such classic films as
Emma, The Winslow Boy, An Ideal Husband and
Gosford Park. His recent US television hit
The Tudors has secured his wider fame as one of the major faces of classical drama.
His Silksoundbooks unabridged audiobooks
The Aspern Papers and
The Real Thing and Other Short Stories, are a wonderful introduction to the works of their American author,
Henry James , who had twenty novels, twelve plays and one hundred and twelve stories completed in his lifetime.
Jeremy Northams audiobook performances are astonishingly good It would be wonderful to think that this talented actor could be persuaded to record some more for SilksoundMy preference would be a selection of Robert Gravess poetry Jeremy Northam is such an intelligent and engaging interpreter of the written word and Graves sublime poetry is not currently represented in the Silksounds cataloguePlease say youll ask him
