Hamlet and Richard III are long Shakespeare plays. The Tempest and Macbeth are short ones. Movies have been made of all four. Hamlet has been made into more movies than I'd care to count.
West Side Story is based on Romeo and Juliet Kiss me Kate is based on the Taming of the Shrew The Boys from Syracuse is based on A Comedy of Errors Your Own Thing is based on The Twelfth Night Two Gentlemen of Verona is based on (duh!) Two Gentlemen of Verona The Lion King is based on Hamlet :-) Another Midsummer Night is based on Midsummer Night's Dream Rockabye Hamlet is also based on Hamlet (but didn't run NEARLY as long as Lion King - only 1 week LOL).
Movies, and plays.
the play is called Hamlet and was writing by William Shakespeare.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet
Hamlet Sr (Old Hamlet) was the King of Denmark and Hamlet Jr's (Hamlet) father. Hamlet Sr dies at the beginning of the play and the story follows Hamlet Jr as the main character. Hope this helps, Have a great day.
I can tell you that the Lion King is based off of Hamlet.
Hamlet, released in 1991, directed by Franco Zeffirelli and starring Mel Gibson, and Hamlet, released in 1996, directed and starring Kenneth Branagh, leap to mind.
Troy with Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom
The Lion King
That's easy The Lion King was influenced by Hamlet by William Shakespeare!
No, it was based on Shakespeare's Hamlet
Hamlet gives his "To be, or not to be" soliloquy. Hamlet tells Ophelia, "Get thee to a nunnery!" Hamlet decides not to kill Claudius while he prays. Hamlet kills Polonius.
The best modern actor is based of a person's own opinion. Another factor that plays a role would be the genre, of movies you choose from.
Hamlet is set at Elsinore Castle, Denmark, which is based on the real Kronborg Castle.
Hamlet
yes
It ought to be.
