I don't know about this movie. It looks more like a Ridley Scott epic in the vein of Robin Hood and Kingdom of Heaven than a Shakespeare adaptation. That may be what it amounts to as well, because Harvey Weinstein isn't putting the usual muscle behind it for Oscar consideration, instead placing it in limited release December 4th, despite it having gotten positive reviews (so far) when it premiered at Cannes. I'd say don't get your hopes up to Shakespeare fans on this one.
