Bonham Carter’s “Great Expectations” closes London Film Fest October 22, 2012 - 18:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Mike Newell's Great Expectations, starring Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes and Robbie Coltrane, unspooled in the closing night slot of this year's BFI London Film Festival to bring down the curtain on the 11-day event, The Hollywood Reporter said. Fiennes, Coltrane and Bonham Carter walked the red carpet for the European premiere alongside director Newell and fellow cast members Jeremy Irvine, Holliday Grainger and David Walliams. Fiennes said he felt the BFI festival was "growing in stature" and that the introduction of a Competition section by the organizers this year is taking the festival in the right direction. The last 11 days of the festival has seen a slew of red carpet events, masterclasses, panel discussions and more than 220 feature-length films rolling out across the capital. Adapted for the screen by Nicholls from Charles Dickens' famous novel, Great Expectations details the story of a humble orphan who rises to be a gentleman because of an unknown benefactor.
