Short description

In Verona, bad blood between the Montague and Capulet families leads to much bitterness. Despite the hostility, Romeo Montague manages an invitation to a masked ball at the estate of the Capulets and meets Juliet, their daughter. The two are instantly smitten but dismayed to learn that their families are enemies. Romeo and Juliet figure out a way to pursue their romance, but Romeo is banished for his part in the slaying of Juliet's cousin, Tybalt.

What's left behind the scenes

Logan Lerman, Sam Claflin, Josh Hutcherson, and Benny Safdie auditioned for the role of Romeo.
The film was released in the 90th year of Franco Zeffirelli's life and on the 45th anniversary of the release of his 1968 version of "Romeo and Juliet".
An 18-year-old daughter of Olivia Hussey (who played Juliet in the 1968 film), India Eisley, was also invited to audition for the role of Juliet in the new adaptation, but she declined to audition.
A significant portion of the film was shot during the cold season – in February and March, although according to Shakespeare, all events unfold in the height of summer – at the end of July.
Many professional dancers were involved in the ball scene.
In the Russian dub of the film, Romeo and Juliet are voiced by Filipp Bledny and Liza Arzamasova – who also play the main characters in the play "Romeo and Juliet" by the Sergei Aldonin Theater Company.
The film was shot in the same locations where the action unfolds according to Shakespeare's text – on location and in the actual historical castles of Verona and Mantua in Italy.
Lili Collins was considered for the role of Juliet, but she left the project due to a scheduling conflict.
Paul Wesley could have played the role that ultimately went to Tom Wisdom.
The film was released in the year of Franco Zeffirelli's 90th birthday and the 45th anniversary of the release of his 1968 version of "Romeo and Juliet".
In the Russian dub of Romeo and Juliet, Filipp Bledny and Liza Arzamasova voice Romeo and Juliet – they also play the main characters in the Sergei Aldonin Theatre Company’s production of “Romeo and Juliet”.
