International Trailer for Roland Emmerich's ANONYMOUS

TrailerMovie Anonymous by Joey Paur

A great new international trailer for Roland Emmerich's film Anonymous has been released, and this is seriously the first time since Independence Day that I've actually been looking forward to seeing a Roland Emmerich film. I haven't enjoyed anything he's made since the alien invasion. But this new film looks intriguing. The story is based on the theory that William Shakespeare never wrote anything that has his name on it. This is a theory that many scholars believe to be true, and it's a very cool concept that looks like it will make for a solid film.

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

The film is set to be released on September 30th 2011. Watch the trailer below and tell us what you think! Do you think this will turn out to be a good movie? They sure do a great job with the trailer of making it look like it will be.
