Hamlet Returns

Here’s some news I had hoped to hear (via Variety)….

“The major players in the cast of the Royal Shakespeare Company’s 2008 production of “Hamlet,” including David Tennant and Patrick Stewart have been reassembled for a screen version that will air on UK channel BBC Two later this year and in the U.S. and Japan in 2010. Gregory Doran returns to helm the production, which films in June 2009.”

I’m not that enthused about having to wait so long after this production airs in the UK, but there’s always Ebay and other sources to get an advanced copy.
