Fifteen New Images for 'The Tempest'

We have fifteen new images embedded below from Julie Taymor's upcoming adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest.

Taymor has added an additional take on the store by casting the sorcerer Propero as the sorceress Prospera - played by Helen Mirren. This sort of scripting trick has been done by other films in the past to great success. For example, the original script for Alien called for Ripley to be played by a male, and we all saw what a wonderfully strong and fully realized character Sigourney Weaver made of the role.

The Tempest is scheduled to hit theaters on December 10, 2010. Check out the images and let us know what you think with a comment below!

Looks amazing! I love Julie Taymor's films, and the fact that Helen Mirren is in it just makes it 10x as exciting.
