Downton Abbey‘s Julian Fellowes adapted William Shakespeare’s classic tale of forbidden love for the screen and Carlo Carlei directs this latest film version of Romeo & Juliet coming to theaters on October 11, 2013. The romantic tale stars Hailee Steinfeld (Ender’s Game) and Douglas Booth as the star-crossed lovers with support from Damian Lewis as Lord Capulet, Paul Giamatti as Friar Laurence, Ed Westwick as Tybalt, and Stellan Skarsgard as the Prince of Verona.
Take a look at the new poster and trailer just released by Relativity Media:
