BUY TIX HERE

Even though I have met Joss and Nathan before, I would love to meet them again and Amy Acker is amazing!! Plus Alexis Denisof is super cool, it's all my fave sci-fi tv starws from the 90s LOL.

The reasonably priced tickets are sold out, so I probably won't be going (sorry $225 gala event is a tad out of my price range) But i I am in Seattle that day (which I very well might be) I may check it out.

But, I will see the movie when it comes out... http://www.muchadothemovie.com/

Ed Westwick Cast as Tybalt in new Romeo & Juliet

First Showing shares:

Ed Westwick is set to play Tybalt in a new adaptation of Romeo and Juliet from Italian director Carlo Carlei which already has True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld as the titular female lead in the tragic romance. For those who haven’t dealt with the Shakespeare play in school, or seen any of the various film versions, Tybalt is Lady Capulet’s nephew and the arch rival of Romeo, which does not bode well for him.

This pleases me.... I have always loved Romeo & Juliet, in fact, as a teen my friend and I went to the theatre numerous times to see the Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes version... then when it went to the cheap theatre we literally went after school every chance we got (even DURING school hours tee hee bad Mandy!)

I really am a fan of Shakespeare as a whole and I love when they remake his stuff. What I really liked about Baz Luhrmann's 1996 version was that it was modern music, sets, props, but the old language... It captivated me as a rebellious teen and stuck with me. I am an English Literature geek and majored in it at University.... Casting young, hip actors will revive the classic tale and I can't wait to see who they choose for young Romeo opposite Hailee Steinfeld as Juliet.

Ed Westwick as Tybalt will be awesome.
