Epic Trailer for THE HOLLOW CROWN with Tom Hiddleston and Patrick Stewart

Where the hell did this come from!? I'm not sure how I missed this, but the BBC has developed a massive new series with Focus Features called The Hollow Crown which adapts four of William Shakespeare's classic plays including Richard II, Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, and Henry V. It also has in incredible cast of actors involved, such as Tom HiddlestonPatrick StewartJeremy Irons, and Ben Whishaw.

Just to give you an idea of how epic this series is, its running time is over 500 minutes long! The series comes from executive producer Sam Mendes (Skyfall), and here's a brief description:

Filmed with both epic scope and intimate detail, the rise and fall of kings is brought to life like never before in these internationally acclaimed adaptations.

The Hollow Crown will be released on iTunes, VOD, and DVD on August 27th. It will also air on PBS' Great Performances beginning on Friday, September 20. I can't wait to watch this!
