Trailer - The Tempest

In her big-screen adaptation of Shakespeare’s mystical thriller, director Julie Taymor (Across The Universe, Frida, Titus) brings an original dynamic to the story by changing the gender of the sorcerer Prospero into the sorceress Prospera, portrayed by Helen Mirren. Prospera’s journey spirals through vengeance to forgiveness as she reigns over a magical island, cares for her young daughter, Miranda, and unleashes her powers against shipwrecked enemies in this exciting, masterly mix of romance, tragicomedy and the supernatural. The fantastic cast and Taymor's trademark visuals make this a must see for me.
