Douglas Booth and Hailee Steinfeld are ROMEO AND JULIET in this first look at the movie.

Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s epic and searing tale of love, is revitalized on screen by writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) and director Carlo Carlei (The Flight of the Innocent). An ageless story from the world’s most renowned author is reimagined for the 21st Century.

This adaptation is told in the lush traditional setting it was written, but gives a new generation the chance to fall in love with the enduring legend.

With an all-star cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Paul Giamatti (Friar Laurence) and Stellan Skarsgard (Prince of Verona), it affords those unfamiliar with the tale the chance to put faces to the two names they’ve undoubtedly heard innumerable times: Romeo and Juliet.

Also featuring Kodi Smit-McPhee (Benvolio), Ed Westwick (Tybalt), Damian Lewis (Lord Capulet), Natascha McElhone (Lady Capulet), Tomas Arana (Lord Montague), Laura Morante (Lady Montague), and Lesley Manville (The Nurse), Relativity Media will release ROMEO AND JULIET  in theaters October 11th.
