Ben Barnes Cast as Hamlet in ‘Ophelia’
Prince Caspian star Ben Barnes has been cast as Hamlet in Ophelia!
EW reports the movie will retell the story of the “tormented young Dane from the perspective of his long-suffering girlfriend.”
English actress Juno Temple (Atonement) is also set to play a “young woman slowly driven insane by an unavailable man.”
Director Dawn Shadforth, who has done music videos for Bjork and Oasis, will give the classic characters a modern twist à la Baz Luhrmann in Romeo + Juliet.

How van they cast her! I’ve wanted this role for months. I would be the perfect Ophelia. She doesn’t fit the persona of Ophelia at all! All I know is I’m going to be crying myself to sleep every night. They must recast that role!!!!!!!!!

Nice! Although I wish Ophelia was prettier…
Haha, I think the book described Hamlet as delicate and mentally unstable…dunno, Barnes looks anything but.
We’ll see how it all turns out, I suppose!
when will this be released?
I love Ben Barnes, whoever say’s he’s Ugly, are either Blind or in Denial or Jeolous…..Hello, He is so much more Better Looking than Robert Pattinson, Robert Pattinson is no where near as Beautiful as Ben Barnes, he’s just WOW. Ben Barnes is so Loved in England, Love Him.
