(PRWEB UK) 9 October 2013 -- Citalia, the leading Italian specialist, is offering its customers the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Shakespeare’s famous lovers. This Friday, 11 October, sees the release of a new British film adaption of the classic Romeo and Juliet love story. The 2013 remake of William Shakespeare’s famous romantic tragedy is expected to be a box office hit.
Written by the Academy Award winning creator of drama series Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes, and directed by Carlo Carlei, this adaption uses the traditional setting of Renaissance Verona, Italy and was shot at a variety of locations including the grotto Sacro Speco in Subiaco; Mantua; Caprarola, Lazio; Cinecitta, Rome and Verona.
Unlike previous film adaptations, this version does not use Shakespeare’s traditional dialogue, instead using modern English language. Still following the play’s original story line, viewers can expect to see the focus on the Montague and Capulet families who are sworn enemies. Starring Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet and Douglas Booth as Romeo, watch as these star-crossed lovers meet and fall in love, sparking violent feuds and ending in tragedy.
This enchanting tale of forbidden love has become famous around the world. Whether you have seen previous famous adaptions including Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 film starring Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting or Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 adaption starring Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio, Julian Fellowes’ searing story of love is not to be missed.
