‘Romeo & Juliet’ Debuts a New Poster and Trailer

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:

The Plot:

An ageless story from the world’s most renowned author is reimagined for the 21st Century. This adaptation is told in the lush traditional setting it was written, but gives a new generation the chance to fall in love with the enduring legend. With an all-star cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Paul Giamatti, and Stellan Skarsgaard, it affords those unfamiliar with the tale the chance to put faces to the two names they’ve undoubtedly heard innumerable times: Romeo and Juliet.

Every generation deserves to discover this lasting love.
