Thomas (<em>The Darkest Hour<\/em>, <em>The English Patient<\/em>) and Rylance (<em>Dunkirk<\/em>, <em>The Bridge of Spies<\/em>) have already filmed their stories, which took them to such historic locations as the beaches of Dunkirk and prisoner of war camps in Asia. Filming with two other award-winning actors is currently underway.<\/p>\n<p><em>My Grandparents\u2019 War<\/em> was commissioned by Channel 4 from Wild Pictures to mark the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of World War II. It will broadcast on the channel later this year.<\/p>\n<p>Mette Kanne-Behrendsen, DRG\u2019s senior VP of acquisitions, said: \u201cWith <em>My Grandparent\u2019s War<\/em>, Wild Pictures has brilliantly combined key moments in history with a fresh and compelling biographical insight into some of the world\u2019s leading actors. Such a unique and considered approach to this global event, coupled with the 80th anniversary in September, is sure to make this extraordinary series a \u2018must have\u2019 title for any broadcaster or platform looking to commemorate the start of World War II.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tom Anstiss, executive producer at Wild Pictures, added: \u201cWe are delighted to be working alongside DRG and look forward to the reception our series receives on the international market. It\u2019s a privilege to work with such talented people as Kristin Scott Thomas, Mark Rylance and the two other award-winning actors we are currently filming with. They each bring real intellectual curiosity, emotional depth and compassion, and deliver a compelling and revelatory new understanding of World War II. Their films explore universal themes and are a moving reminder of how bravery, comradeship, love and self-sacrifice prevailed in the face of tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DRG has picked up the international rights to My Grandparents\u2019 War, a forthcoming four-part factual series that will feature actors Kristin Scott Thomas and Mark Rylance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1033,"featured_media":13045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[289,367,3913,3914],"class_list":["post-13044","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","tag-drg","tag-my-grandparents-war","tag-wild-pictures","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>DRG Takes International Rights to My Grandparents\u2019 War - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/drg-takes-international-rights-to-my-grandparents-war\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"DRG Takes International Rights to My Grandparents\u2019 War - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"DRG has picked up the international rights to My Grandparents\u2019 War, a forthcoming four-part factual series that will feature actors Kristin Scott Thomas and Mark Rylance.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/drg-takes-international-rights-to-my-grandparents-war\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-07-08T14:46:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/Kristin-Scott-Thomas-my-grandparents-war-drg-719.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"450\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Chelsea Regan\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/drg-takes-international-rights-to-my-grandparents-war\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/drg-takes-international-rights-to-my-grandparents-war\/\",\"name\":\"DRG Takes International Rights to My Grandparents\u2019 War - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-07-08T14:46:04+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-07-08T14:46:04+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/drg-takes-international-rights-to-my-grandparents-war\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/drg-takes-international-rights-to-my-grandparents-war\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/drg-takes-international-rights-to-my-grandparents-war\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"DRG Takes International Rights to My Grandparents\u2019 War\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/2a2c6d8fb3c7c8b4220b8877ecffb79a\",\"name\":\"Chelsea Regan\",\"description\":\"Chelsea Regan is the managing editor of World Screen.
