No guessing where this famous line is from! We adore the Baz Luhrman version of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet with the young, charming and oh so dreamy Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo and the innocent and beautiful Claire Danes as Juliet. You know the story – the two fall hopelessly in love, but soon find out that their families are sworn enemies. Their eventual deaths eventually unite the feuding families of Montague and Capulet.
There have been many versions before the 1996 Baz Luhrman version, yet none since. Until now. Introducing, Romeo and Juliet, the modern day version. Directed by Carlo Carlei and starring Douglas Booth as Romeo Monatgue and Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet Capulet, the one thing that sets this version apart from the others is the dialogue. The film will stay true to all other aspects of the classic Shakespearean play and will still be set in the romantic Renaissance Verona, but does not make use of the Shakespearean dialogue. This really is the modern day version, but don’t be let down by the change as the eye candy makes up for that – hello there Douglas Booth… don’t be surprised if you find yourself on Grazia’s CoL soon!
We can’t wait for it to open tonight!
