First Trailer for ROMEO & JULIET Starring Hailee Steinfeld & Douglas Booth
The first trailer for Carlo Carlei’s film adaptation of “Romeo & Juliet” has been released online. Written by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey, Gosford Park) and based on William Shakespeare’s classic play of the same name, the film centers on two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. If you think that synopsis gives too much away you need to read more.
While there’s been no shortage of film adaptations of this particular Shakespearean tragedy, the talent involved in this traditional retelling is reason enough to check it out. Paul Giamatti, Stellan Skarsgard, Damian Lewis, Ed Westwick, Kodi Smit-McPhee, and Natascha McElhone also star. Romeo & Juliet opens July 26th in the UK.
