Why Catherine Hardwicke? What’s the point of this madness? According to Collider, Hardwicke’s vision for her upcoming Hamlet adaptation will be something like we’ve never seen before. It will feature her Lords of Dogtown star Emile Hirsch as the title character, and he recently spoke about the vision the director has for her take on the Shakespearean tale. More on the film below.
