The period drama ANONYMOUS opens in theaters tomorrow, October 28th nationwide.  It is directed by Roland Emmerich and stars Rhys Ifans, Vanessa Redgrave and Joely Richardson and was produced by Centropolis Entertainment and Studio Babelsberg, and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

The film takes place in Elizabethan England. Political intrigue abounds between the Tudors and the Cecils for the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Vanessa Redgrave), as the Essex Rebellion moves against her. The film follows the involvement of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (Rhys Ifans), as not only the incestuous lover of Queen Elizabeth, but also the true author of the works of William Shakespeare.
