It\u2019s the first in-house production for distributor NeoClassics Films and has started production in Malibu and other parts of Los Angeles. Aly Michalka, Victoria Smurfit and Nic Bishop are also starring. Carl Bessai is directing from his own script. NeoClassics Films\u2019 CEO Irwin Olian is producing in association with Bessai\u2019s Raven West Films Ltd.\u00a0NeoClassics will also serve as the film\u2019s international sales agent. \u201cCarl\u2019s script is a smart, modern day derivative of Shakespeare\u2019s \u2018King Lear,&#8217;\u201d said Olian. \u201cIn the classic play, the old King wanted each of his three daughters to prove their love so that he could determine who was most worthy of his kingdom. In our modern spin, iconic architect Davenport Lear has created a family retreat \u2013 also to test the love of each of his children as he is contemplating his future.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The script focuses on world-renowned cutting-edge architect Davenport Lear played by Dern. Nearing retirement, he summons his four dysfunctional children Glenn (Hall); twins Regan (Michalka) and Rory (James Hoare); Kent (Bishop); and Regan\u2019s husband Tom Cornwall (Astin) to a weekend family retreat in one of his signature architectural creations.\u00a0When they hear the bombshell that he has decided to marry his personal assistant Diana (Smurfit) that Sunday, it sets off an explosive and humorous round of devious behavior and conflict as each of them jockeys for position, borne by self-interest, greed and jealousy.\u00a0Rounding out the cast is Davenport\u2019s driver and valet Tyler (Stephen Ellis); Diana\u2019s daughter Delia (Ivy Matheson), and Kent\u2019s hot date Natalie (Amy Argyle). Bessai\u2019s credits include \u201cBad City,\u201d \u201cFathers and Sons,\u201d \u201cSisters and Brothers,\u201d \u201cMothers and Daughters\u201d and \u201cNormal.\u201d Olian previously worked from ICM and as a senior attorney for Warner Bros. NeoClassics has released \u201cThe Hedgehog,\u201d \u201cL\u2019Affaire Farewell,\u201d \u201cMoscow\u201d and \u201cCaptain Abu Raed,\u201d winner of 2008 Sundance World Cinema Audience Award.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div>\n<hr \/>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/variety.com\/2016\/film\/news\/bruce-dern-anthony-michael-hall-king-the-lears-1201757181\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bruce Dern, Anthony Michael Hall and Sean Astin are starring in \u201cThe Lears,\u201d Aly Michalka, Victoria Smurfit and Nic Bishop are also starring.
