TV: Fantastic Full Trailer for Julie Taymor's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Released

Fathom Events and Omniverse Vision have released the full trailer for the filmed version of "Julie Taymor's A Midsummer Night's Dream," which is hitting cinemas worldwide next week. The production is directed by Julie Taymor (Frida, The Magic Flute, Across The Universe, Titus) the visionary director of the smash hit Broadway show THE LION KING. BroadwayWorld has the trailer for you below!

Taymor presents a multi-camera film capturing the original 2014 live performance at the Theatre for a New Audience's Polonsky Shakespeare Center in Brooklyn and blends the worlds of cinema and theater in the process. The film opened to rave reviews at last year's Toronto International Film Festival and boasts a stellar cast, including David Harewood (Homeland, Blood Diamond), Kathryn Hunter (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix), Tina Benko (The Avengers) and Max Casella (Blue Jasmine).

Of all Shakespeare's plays, A Midsummer Night's Dream is the most phantasmagorical, featuring fairies, spells, and hallucinatory lovers. Julie Taymor turns out a production that's visually breathtaking, funny, sexy and darkly poetic. Produced by Ealing Studios, Londinium Films, in association with Theatre for a New Audience Producers, Lynn Hendee (Ender's Game, The Tempest) and Ben Latham-Jones (Nina, The D-Train) joined forces with Taymor to create this exclusive filmed production.
