Roland Emmerich, the man who directed Independance Day and the upcoming 2012 film is apparently going to direct the most unexpected film that you would expect him to direct. He is now set to direct a film based on William Shakespeare. Odd? Yeah, pretty much.
The film is titled Anonymous, and it tackles the controversy over whether Shakespeare actually wrote all of the plays attributed to him. It’s no secret the prolific playwright lifted plotlines and characters from history or other sources, but some literary historians claim the philosopher Francis Bacon or rival dramaturge Christopher Marlowe authored some, if not all, of Shakespeare’s works.
I am interested in seeing how this turns out. Are you?
