For reference for those not in the know and to give an idea how exactly this works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEzskNtFnIY

I genuinely think it was a unique/interesting idea, and am glad it exists. Kinda wish we had seen other movies like it for Macbeth, Hamlet, etc.

    Check out Coriolanus

    Same idea, Shakespeare in the modern day but still keeps the language of the original. Ralph Fiennes directed it and it’s pretty fantastic.

      Richard III staring Ian McKellen is also fun. Script taken directly from the play, but unfortunately pieces of it were cut out to make it shorter. Also 2009s Hamlet with David Tennant, although that is more of a filmed theater play than a movie.
