Juliet & Romeo (May 9, 2025 - in theaters; June 11 - UK cinemas)

JUMP BACK TO TOP




Synopsis:


"Icon Film Distribution is excited to announce that, JULIET & ROMEO, a visionary Original Pop Musical, and breathtaking reimagining of one of the world’s most iconic love stories, will be coming to UK cinemas this June.

In cinemas nationwide for a special one-night event on 11th June, the screening will include an exclusive recorded Q&A starring a dynamic ensemble of the film’s rising stars and industry veterans.

This innovative twist on the Shakespearean classic features an incredible cast, including Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect / JoJo Rabbit), Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus / Harry Potter franchise / Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris), Rupert Everett (My Best Friend’s Wedding / the Shrek franchise), Rupert Graves (Sherlock / Emma), Tony Award-winner, Dan Fogler (A Complete Unknown / Fantastic Beasts franchise / The Walking Dead), and Derek Jacobi (Gladiator II / The King’s Speech).

Clara Rugaard (Love Gets A Room / Black Mirror) and Jamie Ward (The Last Supper / His Dark Materials / Tyrant), bring the Star-Crossed Lovers to life, with Ferdia Walsh-Peelo (Coda/ Vikings), Nicholas Podany (Saturday Night Live / Hello, Tomorrow!) and GRAMMY Award-winners, Tayla Parx and Ledisi, rounding out the all-star cast.

JULIET & ROMEO will be the first film in an exciting movie-musical trilogy based around the real-life 1301 story that inspired Shakespeare’s greatest tale, with the world’s most famous lovers finding themselves central figures in an epic journey of battles and betrayal, the iconic duo turning the tides on history as we know it.

From writer-director Timothy Scott Bogart (Spinning Gold / Last Full Measure), three-time Oscar-Winning Production Designer, Dante Ferretti (Hugo / The Aviator / Gangs Of New York), and original songs and music from GRAMMY-Winner, Evan Kidd Bogart (Beyonce’s “Halo” / Rihanna’s “SOS”) and Justin Gray (Oz The Great And Powerful / The Lego Movie), all breathe new life into this theatrical classic.

Speaking about the challenges of bringing one of Shakespeare’s most renowned tales to the big screen, Writer/Director Timothy Scott Bogart said “Romeo & Juliet is one of the most romantic stories ever told. And the challenge for any storyteller is to find a different colour that they can add. To work from a different palette. To me, what Shakespeare did was to express the poetry of his time. So, in searching for the poetry of our time, we turn to music… Original Pop Music, as a way to truly dive into our character’s journeys – which I believe makes our film different than any other version that’s ever been done before. The greatest love story of all time, set to the greatest music of our time.”

Added Bogart, “The key to all of this was finding a cast that could bring all these wonderful themes and relationships to life. Casting the remarkable Rebel Wilson as Juliet’s mom, Lady Capulet, we are able to explore that mother and daughter relationship like never before. Rebel’s extraordinary portrayal—whose own complex experience of motherhood profoundly shapes the lives of history’s most legendary lovers, just elevated everything!”

Excited about bringing her Lady Capulet to the big screen Rebel Wilson said “It was a really interesting and creative opportunity to play Lady Capulet in this film. I was playing a famous mother after just becoming a mother myself. But overall I was attracted to this project because of the excellent music and the chance to play really against type as an actress. Filming on location in ancient castles in Italy was very special as well - not to mention the stellar cast: Rupert, Jason, Sir Derek and the young talented cast who I just love and know they have an amazing future ahead of them.” "
