STEVE KALAFER AND PETER LEDONNE PRESENT CHRISTOPHER PLUMMER IN "BARRYMORE" FEATURING JOHN PLUMPIS AS “FRANK.” SCREEN ADAPTATION BY ERIK CANUEL
BASED ON THE PLAY "BARRYMORE" WRITTEN BY WILLIAM LUCE AND DIRECTED BY GENE SAKS PRODUCED BY GARTH H. DRABINSKY DIRECTED BY ERIK CANUEL
SYNOPSIS
BARRYMORE, set in 1942, follows acclaimed American actor John Barrymore, a member of one of
Hollywood’s most well-known multi-generational theatrical dynasties. No longer a leading box office star, the
film finds Barrymore reckoning with the ravages of his life of excess. He has rented a grand, old theatre to
rehearse for a backer’s audition to raise money for a revival of his 1920 Broadway triumph in Richard III. It leads
him to look back on the highs and lows of his stunning career and remarkable life. Directed, and adapted for the
screen, by Érik Canuel (Bon Cop, Bad Cop), BARRYMORE stars Academy Award nominee Christopher Plummer (The
Sound of Music, 12 Monkeys, The Insider, A Beautiful Mind, Syriana, The Last Station, Beginners) in the tour de
force film performance of his career.
AB O U T J O H N BAR RY M O R E
John Barrymore, the American stage and screen actor whose rise to super-stardom and subsequent decline is
one of the legendary tragedies of Hollywood, was a member of the most famous generation of the most famous
theatrical family in America, and he was also its most acclaimed star.
The youngest and most gifted son of performers Maurice and Georgina Drew Barrymore, and brother of Ethel and
Lionel, John Sidney Barrymore was born in Philadelphia in 1882. He made his stage debut in Chicago in 1903 as
Max in Magda, and then made his New York debut the same year in Glad of It. Supporting roles followed in The
Dictator, Yvette, Sunday, Alice Sit-by-the-Fire, and Miss Civilization. In 1907, he replaced the leading man in The
Boys of Company B and the following year, scored the major role of Lord Meadows in Toddles.
By 1909 he had achieved the status of matinee idol owing to his good looks, distinguished profile, quick wit and
personal charisma. (Ironically, Barrymore’s real ambition was to become a painter. He studied at the Slade School
of Art and at the Art Students’ League before joining the art department of the New York Telegraph newspaper
where he worked very briefly).
Throughout the 1920’s, he played two roles which were widely acknowledged as the pinnacles of his stage
career: Richard III (1920) and Hamlet (1923), the latter of which ran long enough to set a New York record and
had a successful run in London. Following these triumphs, Barrymore devoted his time to his film career and
appeared in one MGM production, Rasputin and the Empress, with his siblings, Lionel and Ethel. After many
years in Hollywood—starring in more than 60 films, including such classics as “Grand Hotel,” “Dinner at Eight,”
“Twentieth Century,” “Romeo and Juliet” and “Marie Antoinette”—John Barrymore returned to Broadway in 1939
for a brief run in the comedy My Dear Children with his fourth wife, Elaine Jacobs.
John Barrymore lived in a world of distinguished theatrical talent. Lionel Barrymore (1878-1954) won the
Academy Award in 1931 for his role as the alcoholic father in “A Free Soul.” Ethel Barrymore (1879-1959) was an
acclaimed actress who supported her brothers whenever she could.
Edward (Ned) Sheldon, a popular playwright and theatre buff, was John Barrymore’s best friend. He was welleducated and brilliant, attractive and wealthy. He encouraged Barrymore throughout his career, collaborating on
many plays with him (and others). It was at Ned’s urging that Barrymore became a serious actor. Actress Drew
Barrymore (born 1975) is the daughter of John Barrymore’s only son, John Blyth Barrymore.
Theatre historians generally agree that had Barrymore possessed the necessary dedication and determination,
John Barrymore would have been the greatest stage actor of his generation. After 1925, however, the hedonistic
actor dissipated his talents. His well-publicized antics were satirized in the character of gadabout matinee idol,
Anthony Cavendish, in the 1927 production of the Kaufman-Hart comedy classic, The Royal Family.
Barrymore died in 1942, at the age of 59, mourned as much for the loss of his life as for the loss of grace, wit, and
brilliance which had characterized his career at its height.

Q& A W I TH ÉR I K C AN U E L
Can you tell us the genesis of the project and what attracted you to it?
Late last year, my agent approached me with this great project that seemed to come from left field. I inquired into the
nature of the project and learned that it was somewhat quite different than what I was aiming for. In the past I had been
intrigued by the concept of adapting a play to the screen but this was quite different. This being a “one man show” taking
place in a rented theater, heightened the level of difficulty. Any other play would require you to bring it out of the theater
and set it where ever the play took place. This was not the case. It would have to remain within the confine of the stage.
What a great challenge for a filmmaker. I read the play and fell in love with its uncanny sense of humor, its foray into
classical themes and its dramaturgy. The humanity of it all struck me deeply. Other than this marvelous play, the idea
of working with a maverick producer like Garth Drabinsky was both scary and unavoidable. I met the man and knew
right away that we’d have a ball with this amazing project. And then I met the one and only, the legend himself: Mister
Christopher Plummer. Need I say more? And in all honesty, could I refuse such an offer?
How did you approach keeping the essence of the play, yet expanding it cinematically for the screen?
The producers had a very definite idea that the film should be as close to the original play as possible, yet, make it as
distinct a feature as can be in its own right. Not an easy task. We toyed with the idea of bringing it out of the “theater
performance” and setting it up as a real drama taking place in real settings, but discarded that idea early on. We then
decided to create a hybrid out of both worlds - - cinema and theater - - by creating an envelope made up of an introduction
fashionably setting up the time and place, by beautifully mapping out some of his memories visually, by forging a visceral
intermission sequence as well as recreating, for the ending, one of Barrymore’s more memorable performances caught
on film (His Richard from Henry VI displayed originally at the “Hollywood Review of 1929”), all of which would serve and
heighten the play in a cinematic experience.
It was very important for me to accentuate the proximity and the intimacy between Mr. Plummer and the
audience thus creating a greater bond with him. The film enabled me to get the audience to participate emotionally
with the character on a more personal level bringing them in close most of the time but keeping them away when needed.
Basically keep the essence of the play as faithful to its original inception and create a distinct envelope for it as well as
creating visual momentum that would reflect some of the more evocative moments of Barrymore’s life while remaining
true to its theatrical genesis.
You and Christopher Plummer both have roots in theater and film. Please talk about collaborating with Christopher
prior to, and in preparation for, shooting BARRYMORE.
Yes, having been brought up within a “theater family” made me very keen to be involved in this fascinating project. Both
my parents were actors and my father directed over 60 plays from Molière to Sophocle to Shakespeare and many other
great playwrights so you can imagine the obvious thread connecting me to Barrymore.
When I met Christopher, we discussed at length the overall approach I would take with the film underlining my
intentions of trying to alter as little as possible of the original material. I listened closely to Christopher’s request about
the importance of feeling the audience, of keeping the whole “theatrical” aspect to our piece and of remaining truthful
to his interpretation although in a more cinematic way. I then had the luxury of attending most of the rehearsals of the
play prior to its run last winter and then was able to attend any of the theater performances while as I was preparing the
shooting for the film. We had meetings with Garth when Mister Plummer wasn’t busy performing in order to revise the
screenplay and adapt it to our mutual vision. It was an astounding creative symbiosis.
The play was extremely successful and critically acclaimed. Did you find it daunting to adapt it to the screen?
Daunting is too meager a word to describe it. I was scared shitless, especially with the idea of making it a hybrid. My basic
intention was to remain not necessary faithful but truthful to Bill Luce’s amazing words and to the legendary Gene Saks
who brilliantly directed the original play as it translate to its cinematic incarnation. I can only hope that the film honestly reflects the integrity of the original work while being a truly original piece of fiction that everyone will respond to.
I wished my father was still alive to see it. I’m sure he’d love it.
