December 10th can't come too soon

Julie Taymor (Titus, Frida, Across the Universe) is a pure artist.  Before directing films, she used her experience of mask work and puppetry to direct/create the Broadway Lion King.  Quite an impressive resume.

Within her talented hands, we have no qualms over Prospero's Prospera's gender switch (how could we, with Helen Mirren in control?!).

We are also thrilled to see more of Ben Wishaw.  Bright Star was beautiful, but we're so glad he is getting another turn at the fantastic, because we loved him in Perfume...

And Russell Brand as Trinculo.  Enough said.
