upcoming film

Does anyone know if there have been any English-language runs of Friedrich Schiller's Maria Stuart? I found it funny that a German would right a play about her, but it's a very good play if rather non-historic.

As for the new movie, I figure anything with Scarlett Johansson is worth at least one watch. I mean to say, I'm only watching for the kilts...

Yeah, right, TKW.

Why should Schiller writing a play about her be any more strange than Puccini writing an opera about a Japanese courtesan? Or Verdi writing one about Macbeth??!!

Thanks, Macmillan, for reminding us of the Redgrave/Jackson version. Two powerhouse actresses!

I wonder if they will stick in a meeting scene between Mary and Elizabeth as they did in the Redgrave/Jackson version and also the one that Helen Mirrin did?

Historic fancy of course as there is no record of them ever having met!
