Subject: Captain Sir Tom Moore story to be made into movie
Written By: Philip Eno on 09/24/20 at 8:26 am
UK companies Fred Films and Powder Keg Pictures have bought the rights to the feature about the former British Army captain. Capt Sir Tom rose to prominence during lockdown when he raised £39m for the National Health Service by walking laps of his garden. He achieved the feat as he approached his 100th birthday, and has since been labelled a "national treasure". The as-yet-untitled film will focus on the veteran's relationship with his younger family, who he moved in with following the death of his wife, Pamela. The couple were married for 40 years. The picture will also draw on his military career and show how the horrors of war shaped his life and inspired him to keep walking, despite having endured a long battle with skin cancer and a broken hip.
