Sure, she’s trying to ruin Spider-Man with her Broadway musical, but I’m a hard-line Julie Taymor apologist. I mean, c’mon, Titus and Frida were AWESOME. (I try not to dwell on Across the Universe). Going back to the Shakespeare well seems like a good idea for Taymor’s unique otherworldly vision, and combine that with the magicks of The Tempest and what could go wrong, right! Right?! (Stop harping on the Spider-Man musical, Erik!) Take a gander for yourself:
Helen Mirren has now eclipsed Nicolas Cage as the best sorcerer ever. (The Tempest is out in theaters on December 10.)
Hell yeah!
helen mirren looks like fucking shakira. it seems they let the hamsters who wrote her last movie handle the cg in this one. ben whishaw… looks like some kid from circus camp and then they throw this sigur ros song on at the end like, “FUCK DUDE IT’S MAGICAL.”
i’m all, “i didn’t get the magic part during the hundred rotating star outlines so that sigur ros song is a big help.”
