Hello, everyone. I stumbled across an article today that confirms that Sir Anthony Hopkins is set to star as King Lear in the film project of the same same. As well, the article lists Naomi Watts as playing the eldest sister, joining Keira, as the youngest sister, and Gwyneth Paltrow. The movie looks exciting and filming is expected to begin early 2009. Meanwhile, gallery-wise, I added 37 HQ photos to the Edge of Love World Premiere gallery.

American newcomer Josh Michael Stern has assembled an all-star cast for the ambitious film, which will start shooting in Britain or Ireland early next year (09).

Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts and Keira Knightley will play the tragic king’s three daughters, and director Stern insists there will be many more suitable big-name surprises in his blockbuster.

He says, “It’s going to be really good… The one thing that I’m staying away from is stunt casting, so there won’t be the American comedian, but there will be some really great actors playing smaller roles that will make a lot of sense.”
