Adapt a Shakespearean play for the screen in the worst possible way.

Romeo and Juliet with Transformers and Decepticons as the Capulets and Montagues.

Romeo and Juliet starring the Thundercats. (It totally works: Tybalt was a nickname for a cat.) Lion-O: “Capulets, ho!” Cheetara as Juliet, and Mumm-ra as Romeo.

Pauly Shore is Hamlet!

I would pay to see this.

I would pay to see this

I would pay to see this.

I would… um, what exactly does one have to do in order to get a Helena Bonham Carter model bot show up? Uh, asking for a friend.

DUDE, it’s Helena Bonham Carter. Slapping me, I uh, mean, my friend. The Italian is just an extra bonus, there, isn’t it?

For you consideration, I submit Adam Sandler as Richard III.

Dude, one of us is seriously confused about the word “worst”.

Antony and Cleopatra
Directed by Lana and Andy Wachowski
Screenplay by Lana and Andy Wachowski

Starring Mike Birbiglia as Antony and Kim Kardashian as Cleopatra, Steve Carell and Nick Offerman as Octavius and Lepidus, and with special guest Jonah Hill as Sextus Pompey.

In this edgy and forward-thinking adaptation set in present-day Newark, NJ, Cleopatra is saved from the asp at the last second after the surprising but inevitable arrival of Antony, who wasn’t quite dead after all. They flee Newark and set up an organic farm just outside Portland, OR, where they live happily ever after, or so it seems, until the last reveal shows it was all the a dream of a Japanese hooker (also played by Kim Kardashian) lying in a seedy warehouse in Tokyo. She awakens to see the sunrise over the harbor, then plugs herself into the complex, futuristic computer machinery nearby. Is she woman … or robot?! Credits roll, with a teaser for the Wachowski’s upcoming feature that re-envisions Much Ado About Nothing as a dystopian, ruined Earth horror.

“Our special guest tonight is King Duncan of Scotland!”

[flails arms around in the air]

“YAAAAAAAAY!”

We all love the idea of a Muppet Show Macbeth!

Now you’re talking! As long as she’s her semi-nasty persona from “Parks & Recreation”!

All-black Hamlet, where the kingdom of Denmark is a tenement crack house. No idea on casting. Have at it!

One of these sounded very credible to me. I think I guessed right.

Hamlet: Titus Burgess
Ophelia: Uzo Aduba (in a “Crazy Eyes” persona)
Ghost of Hamlet’s Father: Samuel L. Jackson
Claudius: Bill Cosby
Gertrude: Whoopi Goldberg
Polonius: Eddie Murphy
Horatio: Ice Cube
Laertes: Trevor Noah
Rosencrantz: Chris Rock
Guildenstern: Jamie Foxx
Player King: Omar Epps

Will Statler and Waldorf heckle from their box seats?

The Comedy of Errors, played as a serious, po-faced work. With sombre music. Everybody’s hair is some kind of rigid plastic appliance for no real reason.

Titus Andronicus as performed by the casts of Jersey Shore and The Real Housewives of New York City.

Knorf, I am beyond impressed. That sounds like a stellar cast. But sadly, with a cast that good, the idea becomes rather plausible and I violated the OP. I wanna see this.

Plus, it sounds like it could be a musical and even though I hate musicals, this is giving me a thrill.

GOOD WORK!

And I’m sorry. :o :frowning:

It’s CalMeacham’s production…

But I would sure hope so!

NO, no, no, Statler and Waldorf have to do the Derek Jacobi/Chorus/Narrator part in “Henry V”. WHO CARES about the rest of the cast? :smiley:

I’d pay to see that. It would be a vast improvement over all three of the originals.

Really just Taming of the Shrew in general. It is a bad idea to try and adapt Taming of the Shrew. Except maybe 10 Things I Hate About You which is probably the only adaptation of it that escapes being a kind of creepy mess.

Taming of the Shroom.

You’ve been reading William Gibson, haven’t you?

with crown slightly askew.
You and Miller should finish casting and start looking for funding. We still need a Macbeth.
The best part of this production is that the Woods of Dunsinane can appear on stage.

Ah, this is an interpretation of ‘worst’.

“I bear a charmed life, which must not yield to one of woman born!”
“You – You get that I’m an eagle, right?”
