The film features an all-star cast, including Jessica Chastain, Adriana DeBose, and Peter Dinklage alongside Pacino.
"I'm excited to finally share what I've been working on for the past weeks," Rosati wrote. "I’m so proud to announce that I became the executive co-producer of Lear Rex, a brilliant adaptation of King Lear by W. Shakespeare. The cast includes Oscar winners: Al Pacino as King Lear, Jessica Chastain, Adriana DeBose, Rachel Brosnahan, Peter Dinklage, Danny Huston. The film is directed by Bernard Rose," she added.
The film’s official synopsis describes the story of an aging king who, in an attempt to prevent future conflicts, divides his kingdom among his daughters. By rejecting the one who truly loves him and trusting in deceitful elders, he loses his power and faces a harrowing exile.
The stellar cast is rounded out by actors Ted Levine, LaKeith Stanfield, Stephen Dorff, and Chris Messina. The film, now in post-production, does not yet have an announced release date.
"We wrapped filming and now in post-production," Rosati continued in her Instagram post. "Thank you to the absolute master producer and my dear friend Barry Navidi for inviting me to be a part of this glorious film. Producing has been a dream of mine for a while, and I’m so grateful to begin my new journey with such an iconic cast and crew. When I was in film school I read all Shakespeare’s work and was inspired by legendary Als performances. I wish I could go back in time and tell the 19 year old dreamer that one day she will be part of cinematic history. This is for her," she concluded.
Rosati, known for her acting career, is also busy on other projects. She recently finished shooting Object Permanence, where she stars alongside Debi Mazar, Millie Brady, Alastair Mackenzie, and Andrzej Chyra. Currently, she is on set for the thriller Black Box (Flight 298).
