Hamlet: Screenplay, Introduction and Film Diary
"The film, like the play, will have something for everyone," he says. "Its a ghost story, a thriller, an action-packed murder mystery, and a great tragedy that is profoundly moving." With an outstanding cast of international actors--including Derek Jacobi as Claudius, Julie Christie as Gertrude, Kate Winslet as Ophelia, Charlton Heston as the Player King, Robin Williams as Osric, and Gerard Depardieu as Reynaldo--Branagh's version, in which he will play the title role as well as direct, is sure to go down in film history.
This beautiful volume includes Branagh's introduction and screenplay adaptation of Shakespeare's text, color and black-and-white stills, and a production diary that takes us behind the scenes for a day-to-day look at the shooting of his film.

@seamuspetrie @xenocryptsite My favorite adapted screenplay nomination was Kenneth Branagh for HAMLET, when he did not alter or cut a single word of Shakespeare's.
Low end, and heavy. COME MY FANATICS: A JOURNEY INTO THE WORLD OF ELECTRIC WIZARD and HEAVY: HOW METAL CHANGES THE WAY WE SEE THE WORLD available now.
Went to the Barbican last night for MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO - mesmerising. The theatre space hums with energy and memories. First play I saw there was Kenneth Branagh as Hamlet, years later the tribute to Scott Walker with the man himself sitting a few rows behind... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
