TORONTO Ontario-raised director Des McAnuff isn’t sure what will happen with a Canadian big-screen adaptation of “King Lear” he planned to shoot partly in Newfoundland this summer, with Christopher Plummer in the lead.
But it’s the last thing on his mind as he mourns the loss of the Toronto-born acting legend, who died Friday morning at the age of 91, he says.
“The loss of the friend is much greater than the loss of the film,” McAnuff said Friday in a phone interview as he headed to Plummer’s home in Weston, Conn., where the stage and screen star died after falling and hitting his head two and a half weeks prior.
