Ed Harris and Ethan Hawke are set to star in a modern day adaptation of William Shakespeare's Cymbeline.
The movie comes from writer-director Michael Almereyda. The story "unfolds as a battle between dirty cops and a drug-dealing biker gang set in a corruption-riddled 21st century America."
The original play focused on the daughter of British king Cymbeline, Imogen, who was banished after he found out she secretly married one of his courtiers without his permission.
There's no word on who Hawke is playing but Harris will play King Cymbeline. I've kind of been enjoying these modern day Shakespeare adaptations, and as a fan of cop dramas, this sounds like it will be a cool interesting setting.
Filming is scheduled to start in New York in August.
