King Lear, directed by Alexander Barnett, is filming through April 2015 under a SAG-AFTRA New Media contract.  King Lear will be shot in its entirety with some slight editing.  To maintain artistic unity of vision, interiors and  exteriors will be shot on a soundstage.  This will not be a filmed stage production.  A film suggestive of the atmosphere the director would like to create is Murnau's Faust.  Images of the film can be found here and the film in its entirety here.  The film will be released in black and white or sepia.
