ophelia-2018-new-on-dvd-and-bluray



BUY FROM AMAZON
Product Description: One of the world's greatest dramas is turned on its head through a bold and new perspective in Ophelia. Set in medieval Denmark and spoken in a modern tongue with a poetic twist, it recalibrates the classic Shakespearean tragedy of "Hamlet" so that its unspoken, complex heroine may share her own story. As a rebellious and motherless child, Ophelia (Daisy Ridley) is taken into Elsinore Castle by Queen Gerturde (Naomi Watts) as one of her most trusted ladies-in-waiting. Soon enough, Ophelia captures the affections of the young Prince Hamlet (George MacKay).

Daisy Ridley to star in the Shakespeare reimagining Ophelia
Naomi Watts to star in the Shakespeare reimagining Ophelia
Daisy Ridley ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens") and Naomi Watts ("Allegiant") will lead "Ophelia", a new take on Shakespeare's "Hamlet" based on a novel written by Lisa Klein. The novel narrates the story from the point of view of a version of the young noblewoman who is secretly married to the prince of Denmark.

Ridley is in talks to play Ophelia, while Watts will play Queen Gertrude. Obviously, apart from the characters involved and the middle ages setting, it will not adhere too closely to Shakespeare's original text. The film will be directed by Claire McCarthy ("The Waiting City") from a script by Semi Chellas ("Mad Men"), Daniel Bobker and Ehren Kruger ("Arlington Road").

Here is what McCarthy had to say about the film:
"Ophelia is brimming with youth-fueled charisma, exploring the nature of true love and beauty, and I'm so excited to bring this fresh mythic spin to Hamlet from a female perspective. This retelling will be experienced through the eyes of Ophelia and has the kind of romance, complexity and suspense that makes this beloved story exciting to younger audiences."
And, here is the official synopsis:
"Set in the 14th Century but spoken in a contemporary voice, OPHELIA is a pulse-pounding insight into a perilous world of murder and betrayal. Ophelia takes center stage as the Queen’s most trusted lady-in-waiting. Beautiful and intelligent, she soon captures the attention of the handsome Prince Hamlet and their forbidden love blossoms. As war brews, lust and betrayal are tearing Elsinore Castle apart and Ophelia must decide between her true love or her own life in order to protect a very dangerous secret."
