GENRE: Remake/ Drama/ Romance
MADE: 1996
CAST: Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes, John Leguizamo, Pete Postlethwaite, Paul Sorvino
DIRECTOR: Baz Luhrmann
WRITER: William Shakespeare, Craig Pearce, Baz Luhrmann
PLOT: A modern day version of "Romeo And Juliet" with original script.
NOTES: Remember how in high-school they would make you read Shakespeare's "Romeo And Juliet" and you were, quite frankly, a little bored? Baz Lurhmann's modern day take on this play jazzes things up with gun fights instead of sword fights, he opts to keep the original script word for word but an urban setting with hot young actors and a bangin' soundtrack makes a big difference.
