The "Posh" Boys Have Arrived

Max Irons Sam Claflin and Douglas Booth are all reportedly in talks to star in the film adaptation of The Royal Court Theatre 2010 production of Laura Wade's play "Posh" states The Daily Mail.


Robert Pattinson is also said to be in negotiations to the cast, but at an earlier stage.

The original play is set around a fictional version of the Bullingdon Club (a fraternity at the University of Oxford), and involves privileged chaps getting together, drinking themselves into oblivion and trashing restaurants. Wade's play centers on the members of the Riot Club, whose meeting in a country pub ends in tragedy.

 "An Education" director Lone Scherfig will call action and will be quite interesting to see how it turns out since the entire story unfolds in a private dining room.

Production hopes to get underway in May.

The original play launched several careers including Kit Harington and David Dawson.
