News Flash Alert! Recently, a new trailer came out for the the upcoming movie The Tempest, the new movie adaptation of the classic Shakespearean play. Everyone knows the story of an abandoned wizard and his daughter on a strange and magical island, but this movie may be more different from the original play than you think.
Care to take a guess? It's so outlandish that you won't get it immediately.
All right, I'll say it-- Prospero is now a girl.
Is this a violation of the play we know best? Because it's true. Prospero will now be called Prospera and will be played by Helen Mirren. Personally, I have no problem with the renowned actress taking on the part of the wise magician, but I want to know what ya'll think. I might take a whack at this film. I encourage others to do the same.
