Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead Trailer

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead Movie StillI assume it’s like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead but with vampires. I say assume because I still haven’t seen R&G.

This story of a ladies man (Jake Hoffman - yes, that be Dustin’s son) who takes on the role of directing a bizzare adaptation of Hamlet. Among a cast of virtual unknowns is Jeremy Sisto who I always love to see, Devon Aoki who is mostly known for her turn as Miho in Sin City and The Karate Kid himself Ralph Macchio also makes an appearance as Aoki’s boyfriend.

I wasn’t particularly amused with the trailer but I was thinking that it looked nice and then one of the characters utters the line “Hamlet was some sort of Spanish male whore” which made me spew coffee all over the contracts on my desk. That alone redeems the entire project for me.

Currently Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead doesn’t have a release date but according to Gothamist, director Jordan Galland is trying to get it ready for a Halloween release.

Thanks to Quiet Earth, you can check out the trailer which is tucked under the seat. I warn you to refrain from drinking beverages while watching it.
