Birdsong is a two-part 2012 television film, based on Sebastian Faulks' novel of the same name. It is produced by Working Title Films for the BBC and PBS's Masterpiece. It premiered in January 2012 in the UK and has been announced for April 2012 in the United States. It stars Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Wraysford and Clémence Poésy as Isabelle Azaire.[1]

Production history

Working Title had held the screen rights to the novel for many years, but were quoted as saying that "there is something afoot" after Faulks' 2007 commission to write a new Bond novel.[2] The name of screenwriter Andrew Davies was linked to the film. However, in September 2007 it was announced that Justin Chadwick would direct Birdsong, with a screenplay by Abi Morgan, to be filming in 2008.[3] In the event, the series was directed by Philip Martin.
