Juliet & Romeo 2025

Juliet & Romeo (2025) is a musical romantic drama film, directed and written by Timothy Scott Bogart, that reimagines William Shakespeare's classic play in a historical fiction setting, featuring original pop songs in place of the Bard's iambic pentameter. Set in Verona in 1301 amidst the waning Medieval era and the political tensions leading up to the Italian Renaissance, the film centers on the star-crossed lovers, Juliet Capulet (Clara Rugaard) and Romeo Montague (Jamie Ward), members of two feuding powerful families struggling to preserve their realm from a Rome-led unification. Juliet, who has just returned from school, is unaware her mother, Lady Capulet (Rebel Wilson), has arranged her marriage to Lord Paris (Dennis Andres). Romeo, meanwhile, is at odds with his father, Lord Montague (Jason Isaacs). The lovers secretly meet and marry with the help of Friar Lawrence (Derek Jacobi). In a significant departure from the original tragedy, the climax sees the lovers taking a potion that only simulates death—a concoction provided by the Apothecary (Dan Fogler)—and they are ultimately saved by an antidote, allowing them to live and ostensibly end their families' feud, though this subverts the foundational tragic element of the original story. The cast also features Rupert Everett, Rupert Graves as Prince Escalus, and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo as Tybalt.The film, released on May 9, 2025, had a modest box office performance, grossing approximately $548,029 worldwide, with a domestic total of around $456,623. As of the end of 2025, its theatrical run has concluded, with a DVD release noted for early July 2025, suggesting a subsequent digital/streaming release. Read More
