No Ophelia for Thy King

Staff Writer: Samuntha Mackenzie

Hamlet is without his princely king. Ben Barnes confirmed that he did not sign up for the re-imaging of the Shakespeare play/movie. He would have played Hamlet opposite Juno Temple as Ophelia. This version centers on the thoughts, feelings, and point of view of Ophelia instead of Hamlet.

Next, the young British actor will begin filming The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader in late July.

On the big screen, fans will see him in Dorian Gray, a film adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray- sometime this fall.
