King Lear is a 2008 television film based on the William Shakespeare play of the same name, directed by Trevor Nunn. It was broadcast on More4 in the UK on Christmas Day, and shown on PBS in America in March of 2009. The production was filmed mainly at Pinewood Studios in England.
It features the same cast and director as the recent RSC production, and started filming only a few days after the final performance at the New London Theatre, at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire

And Sir Ian McKellan, you and Sir Patrick Stewart are the epitomy of astounding acting ability!
Captain Picard and Gandalf AND they are classically-trained actors who can play Macbeth, King Lear, Claudius...
Amazing!
