First trailer for Carlo Carlei’s Romeo and Juliet

The Playlist has been given the first trailer for Carlo Carlei’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s beloved tale of two lovers Romeo and Juliet.

Unlike the great Baz Luhrmann adaptation this one sticks closer to the source material, eschewing the contemporary setting for classical 16th century Verona.

Douglas Booth and Hailee Steinfeld star as the titular star-crossed lovers, with strong support from Paul Giamatti, Stellan Skarsgard, and Homeland’s Damian Lewis.

Romeo & Juliet is out in Ireland on October 25th.
