Romeo And Juliet
This summer, cinema goers will be treated to another reboot of a classic story. This time it’s Shakespeare’s Romeo And Juliet that gets a reworking by Italian director Carlo Carlei and script writer Julian Fellowes, who was also behind the TV drama Downton Abbey.
This latest version of the film will be out in the UK tomorrow, 26 July and stars Great Expectations actor Douglas Booth as Romeo and Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) as Juliet. It was filmed in Italy and is said to be faithful to the great bard’s original. The romantic tragedy is one of the most reworked plays of all time – it was last adapted for the big screen in 1996 by Moulin Rouge and The Great Gatsby director Baz Luhrmann.
Commemorate the release of this new film with Alchemy’s Reliquary Heart Locket [P496] which comes complete with space for a small photo. Inside, there’s a secret love poem inscribed, which reads: “Where I am always thou art,
Thy image lives within my heart.” It’s perfect for all modern-day Juliets to wear around their necks! For those in search of something a bit different, try the Broken Heart ring [R123] a double-sided band of love, pain and sorrow, which features a skull set inside an enamelled red heart.
