I was blessed with a mother and teacher in high school who absolutely loved Shakespeare and taught me how to read and enjoy his works. Past the old english language he speaks in and down to the nitty gritty of his tales you will find scandal, sex, love, murder, sorcery, betrayal, mischief and fantasy. Sort of like adding The Notebook, Young & The Restless, Harry Potter and The Lord of The Rings together lol. One of his best stories The Temptest [written and directed by Julie Taymor] is being brought to the silver screen and starring some Hollywood A listers [Russell Brand, Helen Mirren and Djimon Hounsou]. The trailer has caught my attention and this is one I will be catching soon after it premiers December 10th.

Per IMDB.com
In Shakespeare's fantastical thriller the magician Prospero orchestrates
spirits, monsters, a grief-stricken king, a wise old councillor, two
treacherous brothers and a storm at sea into a fantastical conspiracy
bringing banishment, sorcery and shipwreck into the lives of two hapless
lovers to stir and seal their fate. Here Prospero takes female form as
Prospera, giving her journey of vengeance and self-discovery a wholly
new resonance. As Prospera breaks her magical staff against an
entrancing volcanic landscape at the end of her heroic quest, this
poignant story of love and forgiveness translates into a riveting and
filmic mystical tale, for our own times.
