We don’t think any of these images are new but seeing them all in high resolution is always nice! Disney have released these 6 images for their movie, The Tempest which stars Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Alan Cumming, Chris Cooper, Djimon Hounsou and is directed by Julie Taymor.
These tie in nicely with the new clip that Jon put up earlier and the trailer which you can see here and for all the coverage, click here.
Synopsis: In Julie Taymor’s version of ‘The Tempest,’ the main character is now a woman named Prospera. Going back to the 16th or 17th century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft. In Taymor’s version, Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her four-year daughter on a ship. She ends up on an island; it’s a tabula rasa: no society, so the mother figure becomes a father figure to Miranda. This leads to the power struggle and balance between Caliban and Prospera; a struggle not about brawn, but about intellect.
We can expect The Tempest to hit UK cinemas 4th March 2011.
