Romeo and Juliet movie #ForbiddenLove #Giveaway

October 3, 2013 by Jennifer

We received no compensation or material benefit for this post, but I wanted to share this fabulous $100 giveaway with you!

Shakespeare’s stories are absolutely iconic. Whether it’s a modern-day retelling, or true to the traditional period, the story of forbidden love — young love –never dies.

romeo&juliet

Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare’s epic and searing tale of love, is revitalized on screen by writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) and director Carlos Carlei (The Flight of the Innocent). An ageless story from the world’s most renowned author is reimagined for the 21st Century. This adaptation is told in the lush traditional setting it was written, but gives a new generation the chance to fall in love with the enduring legend. With an all-star cast including Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Paul Giamatti and Stellan Skarsgard, it affords those unfamiliar with the tale the chance to put faces to the two names they’ve undoubtedly heard innumerable times: Romeo and Juliet. Every generation deserves to discover this lasting love.

Release: October 11, 2013
Director: Carlo Carrel
Writers: Julian Fellowes (Adapted from the play by William Shakespeare)
Cast: Hailee Steinfeld, Douglas Booth, Tomas Arana, Christian Cooke, Damian Lewis, Natascha McElhone, Lesley Manville, Laura Morante, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Leon Vitali, Ed Westwick, Tom Wisdom, with Stellan Skarsgård and Paul Giamatti

    I like Macbeth a lot, but Romeo & Juliet comes in at a quick second. The leather bound notebook is the most enticing, because I love to write poems. And I’m reading one that’s been edited by a jury in a 30 year celebration of a poetry workshop in 2 weeks.
