Al Pacino a jucat in rolul lui Shylock in adaptarea lui Michael Radford dupa cartea scrisa de William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice. Dupa cinci ani de atunci Pacino va juca rolul lui King Lear intr-o adaptare a carei scenariu si regie ii apartine lui Radford.
Dupa cum spuneam, Pacino va juca in rolul King Lear, un monarh care isi va alege un succesor impartind regatul in trei parti pentru cele trei fete ale sale.
Doua dintre ele se supun alegerilor tatalui lor, pe cand cea de-a treia si cea mai indragita fata de catre imparat, Cordelia, refuza sa se supuna si este exilata.
In adaptarea clasica a King Lear din 1983, au avut roluri Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles si Paul Scofield.
Productia filmului este programata sa inceapa la sfarsitul anului, in Europa.

[spoiler]
Five years ago, Al Pacino played Shylock in Michael Radford’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice, and now Pacino playing King Lear in a new film adaptation written and directed by Radford.
Pacino will play the character of King Lear, the aging monarch who selects his successor by parsing his kingdom in three parts, ruled by his trio of daughters.
Two of them are scheming connivers who flatter their father, while the one loving daughter, Cordelia, refuses to play that game and is exiled. Previous cinematic King Lears include Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles and Paul Scofield. The film is slated to start shooting in Europe later this year.
