MUMBAI: William Shakespeare‘s The Tempest, screening on 11 September, will be the closing film at the Venice Film Festival.
Among director Julie Taymor‘s changes to the nearly 400-year-old classic is changing the sorcerer Propero into Prospera, a sorceress played by Oscar winner Helen Mirren.
In addition to Mirren, the musical score of the film has been scored by Oscar-winner Ellio Goldenthal, while the costumes have been designed by three-time Oscar honoree Sandy Powell. Oscar winner Francoise Bonnot edited the film.
The 67th edition of the Venice Film Festival will run from 1 to 11 September.
