A new clip from Julie Taymor’s much anticipated adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Tempest has been released tonight and if you weren’t convinced that the casting of Helen Mirren in the role of Prospera was a stroke of genius you should watch the video below.
Mirren is joined by a stellar supporting cast including Alan Cumming, David Strathairn, Djimon Hounsou, Russell Brand, Alfred Molina, Ben Wishaw, Felicity Jones and Chris Cooper and it is Hounsou and Jones who share the screen with Mirren.
We’ve seen some wonderful production stills and images with the trailer looking pretty special.
