Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth Play The Star-Crossed Lovers In ROMEO & JULIET Trailer

“A glooming peace this morning with it brings.
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head.
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things.
Some shall be pardoned, and some punishèd.
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.”

Relativity Media has released the first trailer for their upcoming film ROMEO & JULIET – starring Academy Award nominee Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Stellan Skarsgard, Damian Lewis, Paul Giamatti and Ed Westwick. William Shakespeare’s classic story has been adapted by award-winning writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) allowing a new generation to discover the timeless tale of everlasting love.

An ageless tragedy from the world’s most renowned author is reimagined for the 21st Century and told in the lush traditional setting it was written. Many will undoubtedly know director Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 ROMEO + JULIET starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. A fine version in it’s own right.

But before you see the latest adaptation, try to catch Franco Zeffirelli’s ROMEO AND JULIET. The beautiful 1968 film features Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey as the teenage, star-crossed lovers.

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.
