Award-winning screenwriter and director of The King's Speech, age 86, passes away.
Renowned writer and Oscar winner, David Seidler, passed away at the age of 86. He was best known for his work on the critically acclaimed film, The King's Speech. The news of his death was shared by his longtime manager, Jeff Aghassi, who revealed that Seidler was indulging in one of his favorite hobbies, fly-fishing in New Zealand, when he passed away on Saturday. The cause of his death has not been disclosed.

Aghassi expressed his sorrow in an interview with Deadline on Sunday, saying, "David was in his happy place – New Zealand – doing what brought him the most peace, fly-fishing. If given the choice, this is exactly how he would have wanted it." It was a peaceful and fitting end for Seidler, who was known for his brilliant storytelling.

The King's Speech, released in 2010, was a major success, with lead actor Colin Firth winning an Oscar for his role. Seidler's talent as a screenwriter shone through in this film, which was inspired by his own personal experience of overcoming a stutter as a child. In 2011, he was recognized for his work with an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, while the film also took home the awards for Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.

This news comes as a shock to the entertainment industry and fans of Seidler's work. It is a great loss for the film community, and his legacy will continue to live on through his timeless scripts. More updates will be shared as they become available.
