According to the Internet Movie Database, Academy Award nominee Carey Mulligan has always wanted to play Shakespeare's Juliet while she is still young enough for the role.  The 25 year old is aiming to star in Romeo & Juliet within the coming year. 

She told WENN, "I've been talking to someone about Romeo & Juliet and I'd never sort of gone after it and tried to make that happen. I've never done Shakespeare, so that really scares me. But it's exciting.  I won't be able to play Juliet in a couple of years and if I'm ever gonna do it I should do it now."

On being on stage versus the big screen she added, "I love doing film but I do think I'm more comfortable on stage because the film was never the dream."
