I'm skeptical. I think The Tempest would work better as SciFi than the Henry plays - and cramming them all into one feature-length movie???
But yes, the cast is outstanding - I will be tempted.

[quote=""Madeleine""]Vinnie Jones? Please, no! I hope he's one of those who isn't "contractually" definite yet.[/quote]
I concur absolutely with your sentiment. No No No.

He's a rather thuggish-looking English footballer who became an "actor" - he's been lots of action stuff, "Swordfish", "X Men". He's done well in Hollywood though......
Actually I think this whole thing smacks as a bit of a wind-up, there's nothing about it on imdb, not when I looked yesterday anyway.

I do remember it - a classic. Though my husband's over-the-top enthusiasm for it kind of dulled my appreciation. The poetry was better in The Tempest. "Full fathom five thy father lies.
