The daughters of King Lear will be interpreted by the English and ascending Keira Knightley and the also beautiful ones Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts. The three will dispute not only the inheritance but the throne, which is in the hands of an old man. King Lear, who will have the not so easy task of deciding which of his three daughters is the one to succeed him at the head of the kingdom.
