The upcoming Lear Rex movie with Al Pacino adds Rachel Brosnahan, LaKeith Stanfield, Peter Dinklage, and more to the cast.
Pacino, meanwhile, is playing King Lear, while Chastain is playing Goneril.“In Lear Rex, an aging King divides his land between his three daughters to prevent future conflict,” the synopsis for the movie reads. “But he rejects the young daughter who loves him and places his trust in her malevolent sisters, who strip him of his power and condemn him to a wretched wasteland of horror and insanity.”
“It is enormously exciting to get the opportunity to work with this extraordinary cast that Al, Barry, and Sharon have put together to tackle this radical, but accessible adaptation of Shakespeare’s greatest play,” Rose said in a statement. Navidi added, “I am delighted to have the opportunity to collaborate with Bernard Rose. His artistic vision, combined with a talented ensemble cast of players led by Al Pacino, promises to take us on a remarkable and unforgettable cinematic experience. We are merging the worlds of Shakespeare and Hollywood. This marks the commencement of an exciting new chapter, one that Al has poured his heart and soul into.
Lear Rex will begin filming on August 12, 2024, in Los Angeles.
