Lost, Dollhouse, and...Shakespeare?

Dollhouse: Briar Rose
( hot damn! )
And in case anyone cares, I recently viewed a film version of Othello, directed by Geoffrey Sax and starring Eamonn Walker and none other than Christopher Eccleston. Christopher Eccleston is, as always, amazing, but in this case so is the entire movie. It's a modernized version of the play, as in contemporary London with contemporary language. It's not afraid to depart from Shakespeare's text, but all of its departures are purposeful and clever. This isn't "O" or "10 Things I Hate About You" or "She's the Man" or any of that nonsense. My professor (who is usually incredibly critical about all Shakespearean productions) described it as "the Othello Shakespeare might have written if he were alive today." So yeah, fans of Christopher Eccleston and/or Shakespeare might want to check that out.
