The movie stars Ethan Hawke 鈥� who has also portrayed Hamlet in a 2000 film version of the tragedy and is currently starring on Broadway in the title role of "Macbeth" 鈥� as Iachimo, a man who seeks to seduce the princess Imogen. 鈥淔ifty Shades of Grey鈥� actress Dakota Johnson plays Imogen, while actor Ed Harris appears in the role of Imogen鈥檚 father King Cymbeline. 鈥淕ossip Girl鈥� actor Penn Badgley portrays Imogen鈥檚 secret husband Posthumus. Milla Jovovich and Anton Yelchin are also on board as Cymbeline鈥檚 wife the queen and the queen鈥檚 son, respectively.
The director, Michael Almareyda, helmed the 2000 鈥淗amlet鈥� adaptation starring Hawke.
In this new film adaptation, the action centers on warfare between a group of bikers and policemen, who are corrupt, rather than Romans and Celts as in the original play.
