Timothée Chalamet will join the new film [The King], playing the young Henry V. Henry V was the king of the Lancaster dynasty in England. During his short nine-year reign, he achieved military glory that no other king of England in the Middle Ages had ever achieved. The film is produced by Brad Pitt's company PlanB and directed by David Michôd ([Animal Kingdom]). Michôd will also serve as the screenwriter with Joel Edgerton, and is scheduled to start shooting in June.
