Interesting facts

Measure for Measure is a 2019 Australian drama film written by Damian Hill and Paul Ireland, directed by Ireland and starring Hugo Weaving. It is based on the play of the same title by William Shakespeare.

Production

Co-writer, director, producer and star Damian Hill died on 22 September 2018, having taken his own life two days before filming was due to start. The event shocked and traumatised all involved with the film, especially co-writer Paul Ireland and actor Mark Leonard Winter, who were close friends with Hill. Winter assumed Hill's role as the drug dealer Angelo in the film, and filming resumed a week later.

The film, which was supported by the Melbourne International Film Festival Premier fund, was dedicated to Hill.
