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.
Sadie's childhood was anything but conventional and she learned
from an early age what it was life to be different: she lived in a
hippy commune and ran away with her parents to Formentera with the
first 'ravers' to colonise the Balearic Islands. Her relationship
with her father was intense and volatile; he was a brilliant but
eccentric artist, who even once used Sadie as an art installation
by tying her to a crucifix outside the Royal College, telling her
she was the son of God. His erratic behaviour forced Sadie to
escape to a world of make believe; her instict for survival brought
out a fierce independence and burning ambition in her - a desire to
make it in order to escape the demons that haunted her. Sadie's
talent and ambition won her a scholarship to the Italia Conti Stage
School and, by her late teens, she was working as a model and was
immersed in the London punk scene. Recognition in acting soon came
along when she appeared in Diamond Skulls with Gabriel Byrne but
her big break was winning the part of Lucy in the blockbuster
movie, Dracular. In this candid book, Sadie tells her whole life
story in her own unique style. She discloses the details of her
anarchic childhood and teenage years; she tells all the
behind-the-scenes stories from the films she has worked on,
including staying at Francis Ford Coppola's Hollywood home; she
reveals the story of her marriage to Spandau Ballet's Gary Kemp and
how she left her idyllic family life with him when she met Jude Law
on the set of the film Shopping, later marrying him. From a
prominent tabloid life, to being part of the notorious Primrose
Hill set, Sadie has had a deal with a shadow being cast over the
true facts of her life. In search of peace and happiness, she deals
with her much-publicised struggle with post-natal depression and
the death of her father in the glare of the media. In spite of all
this, Sadie continues to achieve great success in her career while
raising her four children, who are her pride and joy. This is the
story of a woman finding herself again - against all the odds - and
finally growing up.
