Get ready for a musical journey through one of the most iconic love stories of all time! Icon Film just dropped the trailer for Juliet and Romeo, a fresh, magically melodic reimagining of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, and we’re already swooning. Directed by Timothy Scott Bogart, this new take not only flips the script on the classic tragedy, but also adds a modern twist: original pop music! Yes, you read that right — Shakespeare, meet pop hits.
Set at the end of the Medieval era, Juliet and Romeo reinterprets the star-crossed lovers' tale, exploring the true history behind Shakespeare’s story and its far-reaching impact on the future of the Empire. But here’s where the twist lands: instead of verse, this version sings its themes through original pop songs by Evan Kidd Bogart. The romance, the tragedy, the heartbreak — all of it is brought to life in a vibrant and unexpected new way. It's the greatest love story, set to the greatest music.
Clara Rugaard and Jamie Ward star as the new Romeo and Juliet, with a stellar supporting cast that includes Rebel Wilson, Rupert Everett, Jason Isaacs, Rupert Graves, Dan Fogler, and the legendary Derek Jacobi. This ensemble promises a thrilling blend of emotion, humor, and drama that will leave you dancing one minute and crying the next. It’s Romeo and Juliet for the TikTok generation — but with all the depth of the original.
With a screenplay by Timothy Scott Bogart and slated for a May 9, 2025 release, Juliet and Romeo is ready to take audiences on an unforgettable musical ride. Prepare yourself for the heartbreak, the passion, and the pop tracks that will have you humming long after the credits roll. Can love and music change the fate of a kingdom? You’ll have to see it to believe it.
