The first "Sword & Sorcery" story hits the big silver screen. Shakespeare's The Tempest - Edit 2

Before modification by Bookwyrm at 06/12/2010 06:32:37 AM

So I just discovered that Shakespeare's "The Tempest" has been adapted for the big screen, starring Helen Mirren as Prospera and other highly talented and established actors. The movie will be out this upcoming Friday, Dec. 10th and I am so excited I could pee!

The dialogue remains Shakespearean a la DiCaprio's Romeo & Juliet. However, it is directed by Julie Taymor (Frida, Titus, Across the Universe) and gorgeously shot.

And that song at the end? Sæglópur by Sigur Ros. So fucking good. I'm glad they used that song and hope it's in the movie.

Are you excited as I am?
