I saw this earlier today on Facebook, and I'm excited! My current favorite adaptation is the Baz Lurhmann Romeo + Juliet, but that one didn't age too well. I'm especially excited about Paul Giamatti as the priest.
I used to hate Romeo and Juliet, but now I really like it. I used to assume we were supposed to take the play at face value and somehow find the romance believable, which is obviously a bit far-fetched and difficult. I'm really excited to see another adaptation, especially by Fellowes (I'm not a huge Downtown Abbey fan anymore, but he has a gift for period film visuals!).
