From the film’s synopsis: “‘Cymbeline’ unfolds amidst an epic battle between dirty cops and a drug dealing biker gang, set in a corruption-riddled contemporary America.  In the style of ‘Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet,’ ‘Cymbeline’ is a fresh take on a universal story of love, betrayal and revenge.”
Much like Luhrmann’s “Romeo + Juliet,” Almereyda has brought the story into a contemporary setting while maintaining the original text. He’s even nabbed a few actors from that film as well, with John Leguizamo and Vondie Curtis-Hall co-starring.
The film will be released through Lionsgate Home Entertainment in the spring of 2015. Check out the trailer below:
