Dalrymple will serve as a creative consultant.<\/p>\n<p>Brock said: \u201cI\u2019m incredibly excited to be able to adapt William Dalrymple\u2019s all-encompassing history of India under the rise of the world\u2019s first global commercial empire.<em> The Anarchy<\/em> is packed with amazing characters, the highest possible stakes and a contemporary resonance that sees the weaponization of profit on a level that boggles the mind. Dalrymple\u2019s brilliant book has the scale of <em>Game of Thrones<\/em>, the internecine plotting of <em>Succession<\/em> and a true-life intensity that begs to be dramatized.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lee commented: \u201cWe are thrilled to have Jeremy\u2019s unique skills as a storyteller to tell this extraordinary tale of the collapse of the Mughal Empire in India. I know he will use his prodigious talents to get behind the eyes of characters like Mir Jafar and Robert Clive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roy Kapur added: \u201cJeremy\u2019s unique ability to bring complex historical events to life through the humanity of his compelling characters makes him just the creative driving force needed for <em>The Anarchy<\/em>. William Dalrymple\u2019s epic tale of the East India Company is a story that could not be more relevant to the times we are in, and with Jeremy\u2019s incredible vision, we are confident it will transcend cultural and geographical boundaries, resonating with audiences everywhere.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roy Kapur Films (RKF) and wiip have selected BAFTA-winning screenwriter Jeremy Brock (The Last King of Scotland, Her Majesty Mrs. Brown) to adapt William Dalrymple\u2019s The Anarchy: The Relentless Rise of the East India Company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":18568,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[1698,6539,6540,6541,6542,4598,6543],"class_list":["post-18567","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-jeremy-brock","tag-paul-lee","tag-roy-kapur-films","tag-siddharth-roy-kapur","tag-the-anarchy-the-relentless-rise-of-the-east-india-company","tag-wiip","tag-william-dalrymple","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
