Douglas Booth Is Romeo

Douglas Booth is set to play Romeo in the latest adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet "reports The Examiner.


Hailee Steinfeld is set to star as Juliet, and Holly Hunter will play the Nurse. Kodi Smit-McPhee is tapped to play Romeo's cousin Benvolio  Tybalt will be played by Gossip Girl guy Ed Westwick

Because Steinfeld is only 14-years-old, the infamous sex scene has been cut from the script.

Carlo Carlei will direct from a screenplay by Julian Fellowes who is also producing with Gabriele Muccino, Ileen Maisel and Mark Ordesky.

Shooting begins this Summer in Italy.
