Olivia Colman is in discussions to play a chain-smoking kleptomaniac if time can be found from her commitments as the Queen in Netflix series The Crown.
The actress, who won an Oscar for her marvellously twisted portrait of Queen Anne in The Favourite — a critical and box-office success for Film4 and Fox Searchlight — wants a role in the film adaptation of Mikey Walsh’s best-selling memoir Gypsy Boy.
The boy’s father is gypsy royalty; a bare-knuckle fighter described as ‘a black knight of raging firepower’ who often beats his son, breaking bones and blacking eyes. The kid’s sexuality makes his life so unbearable that he’s forced to run away.

Colman would play his Aunt Minnie. Walsh wrote about accompanying her on shoplifting escapades where she would wear a floor-length fake fur coat roomy enough to stash stolen loot.
Dominic West will play the pugilist father (replacing Benedict Cumberbatch, who withdrew).
Producer Kevin Loader confirmed that he’s talked to Anne-Marie Duff about playing the boy’s mother. (Ms Duff is currently rehearsing the title role in Sweet Charity, Josie Rourke’s last show as artistic director of the Donmar.)
Of Colman, Loader told me: ‘There definitely have been conversations and we’d be absolutely thrilled if Olivia was available to play Aunt Minnie.’
Colman, pictured in her role as Queen Anne, could be set to play a 'chain-smoking kleptomaniac' in a new film about bare-knuckle boxing based on Mikey Walsh’s best-selling memoir Gypsy Boy
Actress Anne-Marie Duff is in talks to play the mother of the main character, a boy in a 'royal line' of gypsy boxers. It is believed she would play opposite Dominic West as the boy's father
Gypsy Boy, which is being directed by Morgan Matthews from a script by James Graham, is due to begin shooting in late autumn — around the same time as the fourth season of Netflix hit The Crown begins filming.
However, I understand there’s a desire for the two productions to work together so Colman can have some larks shoplifting.
Colman and Duff met up on Wednesday night at a British Film Institute tribute to Colman where she was awarded a BFI Fellowship.
Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller would also like Colman to appear with Anthony Hopkins in the film of Florian’s play The Father. If time allows, Colman would play the daughter of Hopkins’s character.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
