Julie Taymor's "The Tempest" - Movie Trailer

Checkout the trailer for Julie Taymor's movie adaptation of Shakespeare’s fantasy thriller, "The Tempest".

In her big-screen adaptation of Shakespeare's mystical thriller "The Tempest," Academy Award(R)-nominated 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 Oscar(R) winner Helen Mirren ("The Queen"). 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.

Starring Helen Mirren, Djimon Hounsou, David Strathairn, Russell Brand, Alfred Molina, Chris Cooper, Alan Cumming, Ben Whishaw, Reeve Carney, Felicity Jones and Tom Conti.

It will hit the theaters on December 10, 2010.
