Ever wonder what TERMINATOR 2 would have been like if written by Shakespeare?

Well put your mind at ease, thanks to a Nashville theater company we have the answer. They have taken the film's story and translated it entirely into Shakespearean verse and called it, Terminator the Second!

Here is a statement from the organizers of Nashville's Husky Jackal Theater company:

"You'd be amazed by how perfectly the themes so pervasive in Shakespeare's plays lend themselves to the story of the Terminator: horrific prophecies, charges of madness, the terror of an implacable enemy, the fierceness of a mother's love for her son. While it's loaded with outrageous action sequences, one-liners and comic moments (which we've worked hard to honor), Terminator 2 is a theme-driven film that invests heavily in its main characters. In our reworking, we were continually struck by extended passages from Shakespeare that seemed as though they could have been written specifically with these late 20th century characters in mind."

They reworked James Cameron's story using only passages from Shakespeare's various works and folios, changing only proper nouns and pronouns. Below is a picture of a script sample to see for yourself. Head over to the Husky Jackal's Kickstarter page for more.
