Last Chance Harvey

Hoffman plays Harvey Shine, a divorced commercial jingle writer, in this romantic drama written and directed by Joel Hopkins. Harvey flies into London for his daughter’s wedding only to be faced with one disappointment after another until he meets Kate (Emma Thompson) and ends up with renewed hope for his future.

Emma Thompson and I realised we had something in common – we’re both character actors, which means you’re not good-looking enough to be the lead! So we said: Why don’t we play this as close to ourselves as anything we’ve ever done?
