Great version. I'd love to see a few other of Shakespeare's plays made like this: Othello, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, etc

In the 1990s, anachronistic, modern adaptations of Shakespearean plays were a dime a dozen.

For example, 10 Things I Hate About You is a re-telling of The Taming of the Shrew.

If you want something that keeps the original text of the play like Romeo + Juliet, try Kenneth Branaugh’s Hamlet (1996).
