“Catherine, Called Birdy” premieres in theaters September 23, followed by a Prime Video debut October 7.Lena Dunham’s medieval kids comedy film “ Catherine Called Birdy” is set to make its world premiere at Toronto International Film Festival this September.īased on the 1994 children’s novel by Karen Cushman, “Catherine Called Birdy” is set in England during the year 1290, and focuses on Lady Catherine (Bella Ramsey), the youngest child of Lord Rollo (Andrew Scott) and Lady Aislinn (Billie Piper).

She went on to star in “His Dark Materials” before leading “Catherine, Called Birdy.” Ramsey is also slated to star in the upcoming series “Becoming Elizabeth” and the HBO series “The Last of Us” opposite Pedro Pascal and Nick Offerman. Ramsey made her acting debut as fierce young noblewoman Lyanna Mormont in “Game of Thrones” in 2016. And do it with some humor.”Īs for Ramsey portraying the classic literary icon, Dunham called the actress “cheeky,” much like “the coolest Medieval teen” Birdy herself. I really love that we were able to highlight aspects of that, and the way the world has changed but also the way it’s stayed the same. There’s so many aspects to modern life that still speak to themes of the book. But there are still as we know, huge challenges to being a woman in this day and age, and a teenage girl.”ĭunham continued, “While it feels very far away that a 13-year-old is being asked to marry a 50-year-old, we still have plenty of barbaric customs that control the way people’s bodies are dealt with. All of her dreams, which in 1290 are to go to a hanging and run around without a skirt on, would be achievable.
She’d be able to play all the sports she wanted.
“If she was living in 2022, she would be a pretty classic tomboy or able to explore the gender binary. “I wanted to highlight this girl who was living in the wrong time,” Dunham told Teen Vogue.
