NOTE: I decided to delete the original post from yesterday, and re-post it, 'cos some nutjob fan of DT was pestering me about stupid crap that doesn't amount to a hill of beans...I'm only writing what I feel is the truth...however, some nutty fans want to write long tirades about any inaccuracies the feel are in my PERSONAL blog post, claiming THEY are solely responsible for bring this about--which is very delusional and naive, but hey, whatver floats their boats. The RSC is doing this to MAKE MONEY and to PROMOTE SHAKESPEARE to the masses, not to appease a few DT fan droolers.

This is a PERSONAL JOURNAL BLOG...it is NOT a newspaper article. This is my opinion, if you don't like it...oh well...get a life. Please don't tell me about it, go write your own blog entry.

One of the cast members of the RSC's production of Hamlet, Oliver Ford Davies--who gave a much aclaimed performance of Polonius, has let slip that there may be a film version of the play, in the future.

If things work out, and the cast can manage to get together for a few weeks in June of 2009, a cut-down version of the play will be filmed for a larger audience. Whether this will film--if made--will be shown on television, or distributed solely by the RSC as a DVD for sale to all comers, remains to be seen.

I'm sure the fan-girls will all be wetting themselves in anticipation. :) But surely, I would enjoy seeing the performance--even a cut-down version, myself, as I've heard to many glowing reviews of it....and, Tennant's skills aside, I would very much like to see Davies' Polonius, as well as--if he is available to re-prise his role, Patrick Stewart's Claudius, and all the rest of the cast, besides.
