5/28/08 Sir Anthony Hopkins will play King Lear opposite the leading lady of
the moment, Keira Knightley. The $35 million new movie was announced at
the Cannes Film Festival and will feature epic battle sequences, Telegraph.
co.uk reports.
It appears that Knightley, who is due to be seen in cinemas next month in
the Dylan Thomas biopic “The Edge of Love”, will star as Cordelia, the
youngest of Lear’s three daughters. The 23-year-old actress also stars in
“The Duchess”, a lavish costume drama based on the life of Georgiana,
Duchess of Devonshire.
Gwyneth Paltrow is to take the role of Regan, Lear’s treacherous middle
daughter. His eldest daughter, Goneril, is yet to be cast.
Several other projects were announced at the film festival yesterday, among
them an adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s “The Picture of Dorian Gray” starring
Ben Barnes and a sequel to “The Other Boleyn Girl”, based on “The Boleyn
Inheritance”, a book by Philippa Gregory.
Western Mail film critic Gary Slaymaker said he was pleased Hopkins has
been offered the role on the big screen.
“Hopkins, of course, started off his career in the theatre working with the
likes of Laurence Olivier and there were reports he was as good or even
better at great Shakespearean roles than Richard Burton whose early
performances are still revered. But Hopkins was nervous about going on
stage and has been much more comfortable in cinema,” he said, quoted by
icWales.co.uk.
King Lear is thought to have been written between 1603 and 1606, and is
considered one of Shakespeare’s greatest works. The role of King Lear has
been taken on by some of the world’s best actors, such as Olivier, Ian Holm,
John Gielgud, Stacey Keach, Kevin Kline and Christopher Plummer.

Keira Knightley fans will soon be arranging trips to London to see the
actress make her second appearance on the West End stage.
Knightley, who made her theatre debut in a production of The Misanthrope
last year, will appear in The Children's Hour opposite Elisabeth Moss, who is
best known for her role in US television drama Mad Men.
Written by Lillian Hellman, the drama follows the characters of Karen Wright
and Martha Dobie, two teachers - due to be played by Knightley and Moss in
London - who have helped establish a flourishing all-girls boarding school.
When a malicious student runs away and makes potentially devastating
allegations about Karen and Martha, the pair face the prospect of their lives
and the school they have spent years building falling apart.
Moss made her Broadway debut in David Mamet's Speed-The-Plow in 2008
and will be performing in the West End for the first time next year.
An announcement is set to be made soon regarding the venue and opening
date for the play.
5/2012 kEIRA .. Filmmaker David Cronenberg sat down with actress Keira Knightley, who he directed in
A Dangerous Method, for the April issue of Interview magazine, and the two discussed several aspects of
Keira's career, including the way the English press focused on talking about a scene in the film where
Keira's character gets spanked.
"I know with A Dangerous Method people liked the spanking an awful lot," she says. "When we were in
Venice [promoting the film], I didn't get asked about it once in however many days we were there."
"And then in Toronto I got asked about it a little bit more," she adds.
"But in England, it was pretty much the only thing I got asked about... I'm not quite sure what that says
about the English."
"I think they like spanking," says Cronenberg. "It might have to do with schoolboy stuff.
"Having your bare bottom spanked is generally a sort of homoerotic thing in those kinds of schools . . .
That's my interpretation of why spanking is really huge in England," the director adds.
"Really huge in England," Keira replies. "So I'll shoot that back at whatever journalist asks me about it next."
Keira also discusses her preference for watching actors she knows little about when she sees a film; and
on her unlikely pairing opposite Steve Carell in apocalyptic romantic dramedy Seeking a Friend for the
End of the World, which opens in June.
"I hate knowing too much when I'm going to the cinema and watching as a viewer," she says of how many
stars' personal lives are portrayed in the press.
"I don't want to know that the actor has just gone through a divorce. I don't want to know that the person is
an alcoholic. It just gets in the way of my pleasure of watching the character on the screen. But right now I
don't think you can avoid it."
The Atonement star also discusses working with comedian Carell in Seeking a Friend.
"Well, Steve is absolutely wonderful. I loved his work on Little Miss Sunshine. He has this amazing ability to
be incredibly funny but has that pathos at the same time — sort of that crying - clown thing," she says.
"The movie itself has comic moments, but it's about the end of the world, so obviously it has an apocalyptic
feel to it that's not that comic, because everybody dies . . . Other than that, though, it's hilarious."
