Private Romeo released in April
Alan Brown has produced a new homoerotic version of ‘Romeo and Juliet’, entitled Private Romeo, the film is to be released on DVD next month.
Starring Matt Doyle, Seth Numrich and Hale Appleman TLA Releasing promise a ‘hot all-male cast’. The drama is set in a military academy and is described as a fabulously homoerotic slant on the classic play.
The story sees eight cadets living in an isolated military school, the greatest romantic drama ever written seeps out of the classroom and permeates their lives.
Incorporating the original text of Romeo And Juliet replete with the play’s most romantic, tender and also vicious moments, the classic story is treated to a decidedly modern twist via YouTube videos and lip-synced indie rock music.
Private Romeo promises to take viewers on an intense, affectionate ride that only Shakespeare and a group of the sexy military men could have inspired.
Producers hope that Private Romeo will be the most exciting adaptation of Shakespeare’s masterwork since Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet.
Private Romeo is released by TLA on April 23rd 2012.
