Tom Hooper's next film "The King's Speech" features quite an impressive cast, as Helena Bonham Carter, Jennifer Ehle, Guy Pearce, Derek Jacobi, Timothy Spall and Michael Gambon boarded the project.

Also starring in the period drama are Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Hopper is directing a script by David Seidler, and filming has already kicked off in England.

What is "The King's Speech" about? Essentially, the story focuses on the relationship between King George VI and his speech therapist Lionel Logue, who supported the king in many ways.

I gotta tell you though, this really doesn't sound all too interesting at this point. History gurus may embrace the idea more, but even as someone who enjoys historical pieces, this idea doesn't win me over (not yet).

Hooper last directed "The Damned United," which I hope I'll get to see this weekend, finally. His credits also include "John Adams."
