Anonymous is something a bit different from Roland Emmerich, as rather than dealing with global apocalypse, this new period thriller just centres on a potential literary one. Anonymous delves into the world of those who believe it was someone other that Shakespeare who created Hamlet et. al. following in the footsteps of numerous luminaries who’ve tried to disavow Will as the creator of his 37 plays. As this trailer shows, it was a time of much political intrigue and cloak and dagger secrecy, in which a secret author could possibly have existed (but most probably didn’t). Whether the film, starring Rhys Ifans, Derek Jacobi and David Thewlis, is even vaguely close to the truth is very much debatable, but it hits UK cinemas on October 28th. Click below for the trailer.
