EXCLUSIVE: Jeremy Strong (Succession) has revealed to Deadline at the Cannes Film Festival that he’s determined to build time into his schedule so that he can perform on the London stage. “I missed an opportunity to do The Shining for Ivo van Hove, and so next time I have to be ready,” he declared.Deadline broke the story in March that Ben Stiller (Night At The Museum) is in negotiations with Belgian director van Hove and producers Sonia Friedman (‘Harry Potter and the Cursed Child’) and Colin Callender (Wolf Hall) to star in the adaption of Stephen King’s ‘The Shining’ novel, not Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film version that starred Jack Nicholson.”The theatre in London has always been the Holy Grail, so I’m coming,” Strong insisted.He conceded that his screen career has kept him away from performing live.

He has filmed three season’s Succession and noted that a fourth will shoot “at some point”, though he stopped short at revealing the start date.Strong has become celebrated for his acclaimed performance as Kendall Roy in Succession; and his powerhouse portrait of director James Gray’s father in the filmmaker’s autobiographical Armageddon Time, has been well received after it was screened in Cannes.He was fifteen when, during his first trip to London, he slept outside the National Theatre to ensure he got tickets to see Richard Eyre’s (Notes On A Scandal) 1997 production of King Lear starring Ian Holm (The Hobbit).“I remember sitting in in the Cottesloe and watching that and it just totally just changed my life and I was thunderstruck by it.
