Since the advent of film and television production, Shakespeare's plays have been adapted, re-imagined, and performed on screen hundreds of times. Although many early Shakespeare adaptations remained faithful to his work, over time writers and directors selected only certain characters, plot lines, conflicts, or themes into their films.
In anticipation of Shakespeare celebrations next year, we asked Oxford University Press and Oxford University staff members to choose their favourite Shakespeare adaptation. From classic to contemporary, the obscure to the infamous, we've collected a whole range of faithful and quirky translations from play text to film. Did your favourite film or television programme make the list?
The tragic story of Madame Bovary has been told and retold in a number of adaptations since the text's original publication in 1856 in serial form. But what differences from the text should we expect in the film adaptation? Will there be any astounding plot points left out or added to the mix?
No, I'm not talking about The Golden Compassmovie. The Guardian has reported that Philip Pullman has given (free of charge) the film rights to his novel, The Butterfly Tattoo, to a small independent Dutch company that promotes educational projects for young people. Dynamic Entertainment now has the option to adapt the book, in exchange for 10% of any eventual revenues. Filming is expected to begin in August. The Butterfly Tattoo was originally published in 1992 as The White Mercedes (by which title it is available in the US) and is described by Pullman as a tragedy.
You can find out more about the film project at the Dynamic Entertainment website. They're inviting people to invest in the project, so do take a look.
