New photo of Covert Media's "Ophelia" has arrived and offers the first look at Daisy Ridley as Ophelia, Hamlet's forbidden lover in William Shakespeare's tragedy the film is based on.
The re-imagining of Hamlet will be set in the 14th century, but spoken in a contemporary voice.
Claire McCarthy directs the movie, with Semi Chellas writing the screenplay which is adapted from Lisa Klein's award-winning novel of the same name.
The film will be told from Ophelia's perspective and follows "the untold story of her tragic romance with the prince."
Her beauty and intelligence soon catch Hamlet's (George MacKay) attention and a forbidden love begins to grow.
Also starring in "Ophelia" is Naomi Watts as Hamlet's mother and the Queen of Denmark whom Ophelia serves.
The movie will also feature Clive Owen as Claudius, Tom Felton as Laertes and Devon Terrell as Horatio.
