Shakespeare's Hamlet Gets 3-D Movie Musical Treatment

By Andy Propst • Aug 13, 2009 • London


A 3-D musical version of Shakespeare's Hamlet is the first of six film versions of the Bard's plays that the U.K. theater company Shakespeare 4 Kidz plans to bring to the screen, according to a report in Variety. The other plays that are slated for similar treatment are Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest.

British playwright John Godber will direct Hamlet. Alongside the movies, the producers of the series plan a TV show Movie Quest -- A Romeo 4 Juliet, which will be a public search to find two undiscovered young actors to play the lead parts of Romeo and Juliet.
