Movie Trailer for Roland Emmerich's ANONYMOUS

Surprisingly, Roland Emmerich's new film Anonymous has nothing to do with complete world devastation. The movie dives into the interesting conspiracy theory that revolves around William Shakespeare and how some scholars believe that he never wrote anything that has his name on it. This is a very interesting concept, and it looks like it will make for a pretty good film. 

I'm not the biggest Emmerich fan, whose directed film such as 10,000 BC, 2012, and The Day After Tomorrow, but this new movie of his looks intriguing. 

Columbia Pictures has released the first  trailer for the film which stars Rhys Ifans, Vanessa Redgrave, Joely Richardson, David Thewlis, Xavier Samuel, Sebastian Armesto, Rafe Spall, Edward Hogg, Jamie Campbell Bower and Derek Jacobi.

Here's the synopsis for the film:

Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, and it 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.

The film is set to be released on September 30th 2011. Watch the trailer below and let us know what you think!
