Hawke Set For "Cymbeline"

Ethan Hawke will reunite with his "Hamlet" director Michael Almereyda for another modern day adaption of a William Shakespeare's play titled Cymbeline says Variety.

Shakespeare’s play centered on the daughter of the British king Cymbeline, who discovers she has secretly married a man raised in her father’s court, resulting in his banishment from the court.

The film will trace a battle between dirty cops and a drug dealing biker gang set in a corruption-fueled 21st century America.

Anthony Katagas will produce.

Production begins on August 19th in New York City.
