Looks pretty funny. <3 Coogan, tho his American accent is shaky.

Looks pretty funny.

agree, tho i think an actual hamlet 2 movie might be pretty cool as well.

Explain.

as far as i know, none ever attempted a movie about a sequel to any of the bard's plays -- the closest i can think of is rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead. this makes sense and is kinda curious in a way. considered every popular "thing" nowaday deserves a sequel. in show biz what can be more popular than those plays?

i'm not even sure, if one does a hamlet 2, should it be tongue-n-cheek comedy or tragedy -- more likely the latter. the idea has disaster written all over it, but it definitely makes me curious.

I guess they could always do a film adaptation of this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortinbras_(play)).

All I can think about when I see Hamlet 2 is think about the Hamlet adaption staring Arnuld as Hamlet that was featured in Last Action Hero.

[Jack Slater is Hamlet]
Hamlet: Hey Claudius! You killed my father! Big mistake!
Narrator: Something is rotten in the state of Denmark, and Hamlet is taking out the trash.
Old Man: Stay thy hand, fair prince.
Hamlet: [shooting him] Who said I'm fair?
Narrator: No one is going to tell this sweet prince good night.
Hamlet: To be or not to be? Not to be.
[Followed by tons of explosions]

Now that's a movie I would go see.

I don't know what to make of Coogan's American accent.

I'd rather see, Rome and Juliet 2: Zombie's in Love and Death.

The chick always getting hit and/or hurt is a nice homage to Kenny.:)
