Steve Coogan was left unsurprised by Leicester University's strong adverse reaction to his new movie The Lost King. Penned by Coogan and Philomena co-writer Jeff Pope, the film aims to restore credit to amateur historian Philippa Langley for leading the search that led to the discovery of the remains of King Richard III.Coogan told Yahoo that Langley — played in the film by Sally Hawkins — was subjected to "unfair treatment" by the university in the wake of the search, with the institution taking credit for finding the king. The Lost King is in UK cinemas from 7 October.
