Which is really all I need to know I’m seeing this asap. Kind of a lover her or hate her director it seems, I personally love the visual flair and flavor of Taymor’s style. The only other director that is comparable in the original and fantastical look of their films is probably Tarsem.
I personally can’t wait for this adaptation. Taymor seems to like her Shakespeare and with Mirren, Whishaw, Cumming, Molina, Cooper and Strathairn, how can anyone not? Definitely in my most anticipated list of movies for December.
Collider was kind enough to let me steal all of their images and mash all of the clips into one long streaming experience of rad.

Looks interesting, it’s just a shame it has Russell Brand in it – I can’t stand that guy.
I sort of like Brand in the two films I’ve seen him in. Sort of reminds me of a slightly more whacky version of Steve Coogan. Coogan on Monty Python if you will. However, I watched about tenminutes of his stand up the other night on Netflix Instant and it was painfully unfunny. I actually felt a little embarrassed for him. Terrible.
I don’t mind Russell Brand, though I can see why people don’t care for him. But for Shakespeare’s comic relief characters, he seems perfect to me.
