“O, what men dare do! What men may do! What men daily do, not knowing what they do!”

-Much Ado About Nothing (IV, i, 19-21)

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? Check out the new trailer and latest exquisite stills from Roland Emmerich’s drama due in theaters October 28th.

Synopsis:

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 written by John Orloff and produced by Roland Emmerich, Larry Franco and Robert Leger. From Columbia Pictures, visit the film’s official site HERE and “Like” it on Facebook HERE.
