Michael Almereyda adapted Shakespeare’s Cymbeline for the screen and directs the contemporary take on the tale with Ethan Hawke, Ed Harris, and Dakota Johnson in starring roles. The R-rated action film will be opening in limited release and On Demand on March 13, 2015, and Lionsgate’s just released a new trailer and poster in support of its upcoming premiere.
The Plot:
Ethan Hawke and Ed Harris lead a powerhouse cast including Milla Jovovich, John Leguizamo, Penn Badgley, Dakota Johnson and Anton Yelchin, with Bill Pullman and Delroy Lindo in a gritty story of a take-no-prisoners war between dirty cops and an outlaw biker gang. When extortion, betrayal, and fiery passions threaten his criminal empire, a drug kingpin (Harris) is driven to desperate measures in this explosive, modern retelling of Shakespeare’s timeless play.
