Watch: Intense UK Trailer for Ralph Fiennes' Shakespeare 'Coriolanus'

by Alex Billington


"And then men die..." Wow this looks good. We received an email from CC2K Online this morning, where they have the first UK trailer for Ralph Fiennes' adaptation of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, which he stars in and directed. This contemporized version also stars Gerard Butler, Vanessa Redgrave giving what looks to be an Oscar level performance, Brian Cox and Jessica Chastain. I had a strong feeling, from all the early buzz, that this would look great, and it really does, despite the rock music they use in this. I'm just excited to see another Shakespeare film that looks good! Fiennes looks great, but Redgrave seems amazing.


Coriolanus is directed by British Oscar nominated actor Ralph Fiennes, who's making his directorial debut. The film is an adaptation of William Shakespeare's play of the same name, from the early 17th century, with a screenplay by John Logan (Gladiator, The Last Samurai, The Aviator, Sweeney Todd, Rango, Hugo). The was filmed in Serbia and Montenegro, with The Weinstein Company distributing in the US. Coriolanus is currently scheduled for a limited theatrical release starting on December 2nd later this year. Look good?
