Meryl Streep Is "The Iron Lady"

"The Iron Lady", a new bio-pic about former British PM Margaret Thatcher, starring Academy Award-winners Meryl Streep as 'Lady Thatcher' and Jim Broadbent as 'Denis Thatcher', recently completed a shooting stint at Pinewood Studios UK.

"Shooting 'The Iron Lady' at Pinewood Studios was an immensely enjoyable experience," said the film's producer Damian Jones ("The History Boys").

"Pinewood is well known for attracting large, international productions to the Studios but we always take great pride in hosting British productions," said Andrew M Smith, Group Corporate Affairs Director at Pinewood Studios.

"The chance to work with home grown talent is fantastic and the cast and crew on 'The Iron Lady' demonstrated while they were here, why the UK remains at the forefront of the global film industry."

"The prospect of exploring the swathe cut through history by this remarkable woman is a daunting and exciting challenge," said Streep. "I am trying to approach the role with as much zeal, fervour and attention to detail as the real 'Lady Thatcher' possesses – I can only hope my stamina will begin to approach her own..."

"The Iron Lady" is a Pathé, Film4, UK Film Council presentation with the participation of Canal+ and Cine Cinema in association with Goldcrest Film Production LLP of a DJ Films Production.
