Hamlethas been adapted to the screen many times before, but there’s a new adaptation on the way that’s trying something different: the lead will be gender-swapped.
Noomi Rapace is set to play the melancholy Dane in a new film from director
Ali Abbasi (
Border). This won’t be the first time a female lead has played Hamlet – Ruth Negga recently played the character in Gate Theatre Dublin’s production. But this will be the first feature film to take this approach.
Deadline is reporting that Noomi Rapace will play
Hamlet in a new movie from filmmaker Ali Abbasi.
