One just needs the right actors to do justice to these characters. ‘The King’ is an adaptation of, what can be called, Shakespeare’s Henry series! Timothée Chalamet, one of the most promising young actors of this generation, will play the role of King Henry V. Joel Edgerton has written the screenplay of the film and will also be appearing in it as Falstaff. Robert Pattinson, Ben Mendelsohn and Sean Harris will appear in supporting roles.

Anything that Martin Scorsese makes has “brilliant” written all over it. He has delivered films that became instant classics, from movies about intriguing criminals to films that leave you bewildered and scratching your head! Some of the best collaborations of Scorsese have happened with Robert De Niro, and that is what makes this film so exciting. The film will focus on the real-life story of Frank Sheeran who, allegedly, had links to the Bufalino crime family and was implicated in the assassination of another labour union leader, Jimmy Hoffa, played by Al Pacino. Moving back and forth, from present times to flashbacks, the film will trace the story right from the beginning, giving a perspective on how things would have happened in reality.
