In the new film adaptation of William Shakespeare's tragedy, Hamlet will be turned into a woman. It is reported by the Daedline edition.
The leading role in the film directed by Ali Abbasi will be played by actress Noomi Rapace, known for such projects as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Sherlock Holmes: A Play of Shadows and Prometheus. Filming is scheduled for the fall of 2021.
“Shakespeare stole the story of Hamlet from us. Now it's time for us to claim her back and make the new version so crazy and bloody that he [Shakespeare] will roll over in his grave. Let's make Hamlet great again! " - spoke about his work Abbasi, who received the Cannes Film Festival "Special Look" for his latest film "On the Border of the Worlds".
Rapace noted that Hamlet is the role of a dream for her. She also praised the director of the film for his bravery and innovative approach.
In the summer it became known that in the 25th Bond film, agent 007 will be played by a black actress Lashana Lynch. According to the plot of the new part of the spy saga, James Bond temporarily interrupts his service and goes to rest in Jamaica, at which time MI6 assigns the number 007 to a new operative, a woman.
Shakespeare's sonnets are traditionally divided into three categories and arranged in a sequence according to the addressees of the poems: "Beautiful Youth", "Poet-Rival" and "Dark Lady". However, according to Edmondson, the chronological arrangement of the poems "exposes them as free poems imbued with Shakespeare's personality."
Edmondson notes that when Shakespeare's sonnets were first published in 1609, the playwright was near the end of his life and may not have wanted to publish the poems in order to keep them secret. The book also contains explanatory notes and modern translations of the poems. The editors sought to debunk "long-standing biographical myths" and present a "new perspective" on Shakespeare's life, according to the Cambridge Press website.
However, the theory that Shakespeare was LGBT + is far from "new," and in their book, Wells and Edmondson hope to end the perennial debate over playwright's sexuality. “Some of the sonnets, which are very sexual in nature, are definitely addressed to both men and women. Undoubtedly Shakespeare was bisexual,”Edmondson told The Telegraph.
Wells notes “two bisexual mini-episodes” in sonnets 40–42 and 133–134, which detail a possible love triangle between the narrator and male and female lovers. In the sonnets of the first mini-episode, Shakespeare's lover allegedly “takes his mistress away from him,” but poor William still admires the beauty of both his lovers, despite the betrayal. Very "bi-culture".
