Breaking! This Is Us star Milo Ventimiglia has sold a “modern Latino King Lear” to FOX pictures. It’s called Cordelia, and it…
…is a modern re-telling of the King Lear story set to the back drop of a strong Cuban family and the three sisters running the scene in Miami. Told through the eyes of the one daughter who truly loved her father, Cordelia delves into a world of secrets, lies and complex family bonds that are constantly tested but ultimately never broken.
I suppose it could be interesting? Given the name it almost makes you wonder if somebody heard about the 
movie that’s coming out and said, “Somebody makes us one of those!” Hey, that’s how we got Antz before A Bug’s Life, if you remember. If the movie studios want to compete over Shakespeare adaptations as well as animated features, I’m totally ok with that.
Somebody should totally tap John Leguizamo to play Edmund. Dude’s already got a Shakespeare resume that includes Romeo+Juliet and Cymbeline.
