### *Everybody's Talking About Jamie The Major Motion Picture* delays its release to 22 January 2021 Hype for the new film has been building up after the production team [**unveiled a batch of first-look photos**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/first-look-at-max-harwood-and-richard-e-grant-in-the-everybodys-talking-about-jamie-film) last month with **Richard E Grant** in full drag costume and fierce-looking Jamie New played by newcomer **Max Harwood**, who was the lucky one to be selected from an open casting call. Harwood will be joined on screen by 20 other young Sheffield residents. ### Who is starring in the Everybody's Talking About Jamie movie cast? Also joining Harwood and Grant in the *Jamie* musical film cast are **Sarah Lancashire** (*Happy Valley*) in the role of Margaret New, **Sharon Horgan** (*Catastrophe*) as Miss Hedge, and West End star **Shobna Gulati** as Ray, who reprises the role from the original staged London musical production. ### *Everybody's Talking About Jamie* creative team The musical's original director **Jonathan Butterell** steps back into the director's chair for the new movie with **Tom MacRae** also having returned to pen the screenplay after writing the musical's original book. *The film is based on the original Sheffield/London stage musical of the same name, which is in turn based on the 2011 television documentary, Jamie: Drag Queen at 16. The plot centres on teenager Jamie New (inspired by the real-life **Jamie Campbell**) and his tender-loving mother Margaret who supports him in everything he wants to do. When Jamie is denied the chance to attend the school prom in drag by his cruel-hearted teacher Miss Hedge, his friends and supportive mother step in to save the day.* The London show [**won three WhatsOnStage Awards**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/news/42nd-street-wins-big-at-the-18th-annual-whatsonstage-awards) in 2018, including Best New Musical, and was also nominated for no less than five Olivier Awards last year.
