I'm looking forward to seeing Julie Taymor's film version of The Tempest when it hits theaters in December.
(Here's the trailer in case you missed it)
It isn't getting great reviews so far at the festivals, but Shakespeare is notoriously difficult to translate to film, and I respect Taymor for being brave enough to try.
Her film version of Titus was fantastic, and while Across the Universe had some issues, I still admire the strange theatricality of her cinematic vision. And really, how can you NOT be excited about Helen Mirren as Prospero?
