A gun-toting Shakespeare adaptation unexpectedly riddles the Bard with streaming bullets

The works of William Shakespeare remain in a constant state of adaptation hundreds of years after first being created, but one unique modern spin on the Bard’s methods is to update his stories for the modern era and fill them full of lead, with Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet kicking off the unexpected subgenre in 1996.

Since then, we’ve seen Gerard Butler wielding an assault rifle in Ralph Fiennes’ bone-crunching Coriolanus, while the aforementioned star-crossed lovers also served as the inspiration behind aptly-named action comedy crime caper Die in a Gunfight, as if it needed to be made more obvious.
