Emile Hirsch is Catherine Hardwicke's 'Hamlet'

Whenever people say there are too many remakes - a position it is, admittedly, getting more difficult to oppose - I like to say there are just too many bad remakes. Just think of where we'd be if nothing that had ever been staged, be it play, TV show, or movie, was ever heard from again. Say goodbye to Shakespeare, I guess; if nobody had performed his works after their initial productions, we would have never heard of him. There's another Shakespeare update coming, joining the ranks of some very good film versions in the past 20 years, both literal interpretations and wildly inventive modernizations. Catherine Hardwicke will tackle the granddaddy of 'em all, with Emile Hirsch as Hamlet. The update will transport The Danish Play to an East Coast liberal arts college whose father is the school's murdered president. Hirsch then learns that his uncle...well, you should know this stuff already. Not exactly the high stakes poker of the original, but with Hirsch as Hamlet, it could work. Hardwicke tells Entertainment Weekly that the central idea was actually Hirsch's to begin with, and that she initially didn't warm to the concept. But now the Twilight director gets it, Overture is making it, Hirsch will star, and it will get in front of cameras later this year.

WOW are you serious Colin???

In my opinion, this is a BAD IDEA!!!

I mean Emile playing Hamlet???
The single toughest most complex and depth of all of Shakespeare's, HAMLET??!!?!!?

This is sooooo wrong I cant begin to fathom it..

Emile is a OK actor we have not seen much of him to really decide...
Great in Into The Wild as well as MILK... but Speed Racer.. uhhh no...

Im not sure its very smart for him to tackle one of the greatest most epic characters ever written in the history of literature....!

The adaptation sounds weak as well... and Catherine Hardwicke who the hell is she???

She directed fuckin Twilight??? I mean comeon....

This cant be serious...
Colin what do you think??
Anyone??
