With so many books being adapted into movies lately, it’s no surprise that ROMEO AND JULIET, one of the greatest plays in history, is getting another big screen adaption, as well!
William Shakespeare’s iconic story about two, young, star crossed lovers returns to the big screen in a new adaptation starring Hailee Steinfeld (TRUE GRIT) and Douglas Booth as the famous lovers.
The last adaptation of the play was by Baz Luhrman and starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. In true Luhrman style, the setting was updated to modern day California with all of Shakespeare’s original dialogue making for a very creative and mesmerizing movie.
This time around, the story is true to its time and takes place in the Italy of yore and is a much more traditional adaptation complete with period costumes. It also co-stars Paul Giamatti and GOSSIP GIRL’s Ed Westwick.
Check out the trailer below and let us know if you’ll be checking out ROMEO AND JULIET when it hits theatres this fall!
