A film about who really wrote the plays, poetry, etc. of William Shakespeare. The end of the trailer says 'coming soon', but Yahoo gives a date of 09/30/11.

It doesn't really matter to me if we call that great writer Shakespeare, Bacon, Marlowe, Anonymous, or whomever - his works are still an awesome literary achievement. I am usually not a New Formalist-type scholar (because I think in many cases the biography of the writer is an essential part of understanding the works, especially in poetry) but in Shakespeare's case the plays stand equally well by themselves - an understanding of the historical / political situation in Elizabethan England is perhaps more useful to the modern reader.
