Felicity will play Miranda in a new adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest. The cast also includes Dame Helen Mirren, Alfred Molina, Ben Whishaw, Jeremy Irons, Djimon Hounsou and Russell Brand. Geoffery Rush is in negotiations to join the cast.
The main character of Propero has been changed to Prospera so that Dame Helen can play it. (Miranda will still be her daughter.)
Julie Taymor (director of Frida) wrote the screenplay and will direct.
Prospera: Helen Mirren
Miranda: Felicity
Alfonso: Jeremy Irons
Ariel: Ben Whishaw
Trinculo: Russell Brand
Caliban: Djimon Hounsou
Stephano: Alfred Molina
