Kenneth Branagh To Be The Patron Of Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus Remake

To mark the 400^th anniversary of playwright Shakespeare’s death, Film London and Cinestaan Film Company have collaborated for an India-UK project, The Hungry. The production houses will be co-producing the film together, through Microwave International: Shakespeare India, forming a part of William Shakespeare on screen. Film London has chosen actor, director and writer Sir Kenneth Branagh as the patron of Shakespeare.

The 55-year-old actor said, “Much of my work has involved bringing Shakespeare to the stage and the screen, so I’m looking forward to working with Film London as their patron for Shakespeare on Screen. This celebrates the fascinating, ever-evolving relationship between Shakespeare’s work and film. Storytellers at every stage of their careers continue to draw from the playwright’s work, so it is fitting that this project – through an ambitious series of brand new commissions – showcases emerging and established talent alike. It is a pleasure to be involved with a project which aims to bring his work to countless new audiences, inspiring as many people as possible along the way.”

The Hungry is modern reiterating of Titus Andronicus - Shakespearian tragedy. The story is set in the extravagant surroundings of an Indian wedding while exploring the part of the patriarch and corruption in Indian politics and big business.
