Lear Rex set photos reveal first look at Al Pacino as King Lear plus Peter Dinklage as The Fool and Stephen Dorff as Poor Tom
As a seasoned theater enthusiast with decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming adaptation of King Lear, titled Lear Rex, has me absolutely thrilled! The cast boasts some of the most talented actors of our time, and it’s always a treat to see Al Pacino in action, especially when he’s stepping into the shoes of such a legendary character as King Lear.
The creation process has begun for the modern take on Shakespeare’s King Lear, titled “Lear Rex.” Recently, a sneak peek of Al Pacino in his portrayal of Lear was revealed to the public.
84-year-old Pacino was recently seen on the LA set in regal clothing, approximately a month since filming began. This sighting comes shortly after his 30-year-old partner, Noor Alfallah, referred to him as an “amazing father.
Additionally, Peter Dinklage was seen donned in his character’s attire as The Fool, while Stephen Dorff portrayed Poor Tom.
On Wednesday, Jessica Chastain (Goneril), Ariana DeBose (Cordelia), Rachel Brosnahan playing Regan, LaKeith Stanfield portraying Edmund, Chris Messina taking on the Duke of Cornwall, Ted Levine assuming the Earl of Kent, Danny Huston in the role of Duke of Albany, and Matthew Jacobs as well as Rhys Coiro both in the Duke of Cornwall’s cast were not seen. However, these talented actors are part of the production.
The duration of the filming isn’t specified yet, nor is it clear when the movie directed by Bernard Rose (known for Anna Karenina and Candyman) might be released.
Previously known for his role in the 2004 adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice,” Pacino recently appeared in attire that included a sleek black tunic beneath an elaborate purple robe adorned with golden trimmings.
On set, the actor wore an untidy, grey hair style, matching his character who also had a grey beard for the part.
The actor adorned himself with multiple golden rings and a stately cane, which he carried consistently across the filming location.
Dinklage wore white face paint with black accents around his eyes and sporting a small mohawk.
He put on a vibrant red tunic adorned with gleaming golden buttons, and draped a flowing cape around his shoulders. To finish off the ensemble, he wore matching red footwear.
Dorff donned a tattered, single-shouldered green suit with a grungy appearance, while his makeup accentuated his rough demeanor.
Apart from that, he bore multiple facial tattoos on both arms, displayed an open wound on his left leg, and donned a pair of earthy-toned sandals.
The actor was also seen smoking a cigarette between takes with a black wrap around his legs.
The story follows an aging King Lear who divides his kingdom between his three daughters.
Rather than relying on the one daughter who genuinely loves him, Lear puts his trust in her wicked sisters instead.
According to the account, they take away his authority and sentence him to a desolate, terrifying landscape filled with despair and madness instead.
The play has frequently returned to both Broadway and Off-Broadway, with the latest revival being a gender-swapped production on Broadway in 2019, featuring Glenda Jackson as King Lear, Ruth Wilson as Cordelia (The Food), and Pedro Pascal as Edmund.
