First God rest his soul, he was a great actor. Does anyone know if he finished his scenes before he pasted away?

I don't think so. They were filming it now. So sad. Rest in peace John. 🌷

There's a good chance he completed his work on the film. They finish shooting the film at the end of this month. Assuming it wasn't a very large role, he might've wrapped up weeks (if not months) ago.

In any case, huge loss to cinema. RIP to an acting legend.

I'm guessing they push the more "risky" actors health-wise to the start of the schedule. I expect all his scenes are filmed, and he's not completely integral to the plot either.. they can just edit with what they've got.

We'll find out soon enough, but I hope so. They began filming it back in November, so hopefully they had to the good sense to frontload his scenes.

Neville Chamberlain was important for the history of WW2.

It would be an interesting last part.

Hope he finished it.

The movie started shooting in late October, so there's a very good chance the filming aspect is completed. It's the post-production element that takes forever. Fingers crossed.
