Shakespeare in modern media?

Question

I need to find references to Shakespeare's work (sonnets, plays, etc.) in things today, such as movies, music, etc. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

There was a remake of "Romeo and Juliet" which used some of the shakespeare script but a modern-day setting. It was released in 1996 and starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Clair Danes. There was also a movie called "She's the Man" starring Amanda Bynes which was REALLY loosely based on Twelfth Night. Hope that helps!

Answer 2

there is a recent movie adaptation of the merchant of venice (2004), with al pacino and jeremy irons, that was very good!
