Christopher N. Rowley co-writes and directs this children's fantasy
adventure adapted from Georgia Byng's novel. After discovering a
magical book on hypnotism, orphan Molly Moon (Raffey Cassidy) uses
its powers to escape her glum orphanage life and travel to London
in search of her friend Rocky (Jadon Carnelly-Morris). With the
bright lights of the city quickly causing a distraction, Molly soon
deviates from her quest and mesmerises her way into the lead role
of her very own musical, becoming a singing sensation overnight.
Trouble is not far away however, as Molly's new-found fame attracts
the attention of bungling criminal Simon Nockman (Dominic
Monaghan), who attempts to steal the magic book to use as part of
his latest robbery scheme. The cast also includes Emily Watson,
Joan Collins and Omid Djalili.
Omid Djalili's childhood was unconventional, to say the least. He
was raised in a beautiful, chaotic, cramped, colourful and legally
dubious guesthouse where his parents fed and watered Iranian
nationals flocking to the UK. Over twenty years almost 2000
'cousins' passed through the Djalili's doors and the young Omid
played translator to each. Although these years taught him a lot
about the rich tapestry of life, this parenting by committee led to
a slightly chequered school career which saw Omid taking his A
levels a record six times and eventually fake his own university
entrance papers. Desperate to be free of his cramped living
quarters he escapes to the University of Ulster where he lives a
life of wonderful solitude. Full of the warmth and intelligence
that makes Omid such a successful comedian and sought-after actor,
this memoir takes us on an incredible and laugh-out-loud funny
journey through an unusually British life.
