In a recent interview, actor Harry Lennix revealed that:
“Right now
I’m doing what I think is the first black Shakespeare film ever done, which is
called “H4”. It’s a reconfiguration using Shakespeare’s language of “Henry IV
Part I and Part II”. I play Henry IV in it along with an estimable cast
including Keith David, Angus Macfadyen from “Braveheart”, we have a number of
young and talented actors.”
Harry Lennix
also said that he's producing the film.
On IMDb,
Michael Dorn is listed as playing the part of Henry IV, but Shakespeare fansite
Bardfilm clarifies:
“Michael Dorn
will not be playing Henry IV in the finished version of the film. Scheduling
conflicts prevent him from being available for the reshoots. But Harry Lennix,
who played Aaron (and played him brilliantly) in Julie Taymor’s Titus, will
take over the role.”
The cast of
H4 also includes The Walking Dead's Jeryl Prescott Sales and Equilibrium's
Angus Macfadyen as Sir John Falstaff.
Update: IMDb also
says that Harry Lennix is playing the part of Macduff in Macbett: The Caribbean
Macbeth, alongside the likes of Terrence Howard, Sanaa Lathan, Blair Underwood,
and, according to rumours, Danny Glover.
