Hamlet (Ethan Hawke)
"A Knockout...You Will Be Dazzled!" -Rolling Stone
Hot Hollywood star Ethan Hawke (Gattaca) is joined by Julia Stiles (10 Things I Hate About You) and Bill Murray (Rushmore) in a hip, thoroughly contemporary adaptation of William Shakespeare's epic story of passion, betrayal and revenge! The president of the Denmark Corporation is dead... and already his wife is remarried to the man suspected of his murder! Nobody is more troubled by this than her son, Hamlet (Hawke). Now, after this hostile takeover, vengeance is in the air! Also featuring Kyle MacLachlan (One Night Stand), Liev Schreiber (Scream 3), Diane Venora (The Insider) and Sam Shepard (The Pelican Brief) in an outstanding ensemble - the power of Shakespeare's timeless words is matched by the stunningly modern look and feel of this widely acclaimed highly entertaining big-screen event!

The things you can do with a camera that you can't do on stage! This intense, mind-bending exploration of the young prince and his tortured mind is outstanding. The contemporary NYC setting with Shakespearean dialogue works. Hawke is fantastic. Certain cast members aren't, like Bill Murray, but who's complaining. The low-ceilings, camera close-ups, voice over soliloquies make this the Hamlet of the Ages. And to think Paul Gross thought he could do Hamlet!!! Get a life!
