New clip from Roland Emmerich's ANONYMOUS

Here is a new clip from Roland Emmerich's Anonymous. I am interested in seeing it because of it's great costumes and production value. The story sounds intriguing as well 

The clip below shows moments from two very different productions of Hamlet, one at the public theatre of the Rose and one in the royal court of Elizabeth I. The Earl of Oxford (Rhys Ifans) watches closely to see if the crowd gets the political allusions he's added to the play, attacking the Queen's advisor, Cecil (David Thewlis).

Watch the clip below:

Synopsis:

Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, Anonymous speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds ranging from Mark Twain and Charles Dickens to Henry James and Sigmund Freud, namely: who was the author of the plays credited to William Shakespeare? Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature. Anonymous poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when cloak-and-dagger political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles hungry for the power of the throne were exposed in the most unlikely of places: the London stage.

Anonymous arrives in theaters on October 28.
