ComingSoon.net has your exclusive first look at a new clip from Julie Taymor’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s mystical thriller The Tempest featuring Helen Mirren and Djimon Hounsou.
Taymor (Across the Universe, Frida, Titus) brings an original dynamic to the story by changing the gender of the sorcerer Prospero into the sorceress Prospera, portrayed by Mirren. Prospera’s journey spirals through vengeance to forgiveness as she reigns over a magical island, cares for her young daughter, Miranda, and unleashes her powers against shipwrecked enemies in this exciting, masterly mix of romance, tragicomedy and the supernatural.
Russell Brand, Reeve Carney, Tom Conti, Chris Cooper, Alan Cumming, Felicity Jones, Alfred Molina, David Strathairn and Ben Whishaw co-star in the December 10 release.
