Chasing Shakespeare

While poking around IMDB for Shakespeare movies I spotted the indie Chasing Shakespeare, starring Danny Glover.  The link above has the most information, and that story was dated a year ago.  IMDB lists the film as having as 2012 release.

The plot? "A love story between a young African-American man and a Native American girl with a passion for Shakespeare."

Well, at least we know this one will have some Shakespeare in it.   Has anybody seen this one, or heard of it?

The Immortal Bard, by Isaac Asimov

I saw a reference to this Isaac Asimov short story and thought, "Ooo, it sounds like I would like that!"  Then I googled for it, found it available for reading online, and the link was already purple - meaning that I'd been there before.  Go figure! :)

The Immortal Bard, by Isaac Asimov

It's a short and easy read, and the plot is familiar enough - Shakespeare + time travel.  What does Mr. Shakespeare think of how we've elevated him in the past few centuries?  Of course, much like Mr. Shakespeare, Mr. Asimov had the same talent of taking a story that's been told countless times and putting his own personal spin on it.

Isaac Asimov is famous among Shakespeare geeks for other reasons as well, most notably his own guide to Shakespeare, with which I've had something of a love/hate relationship.

Coming Soon : Shakespeare's Daughter

I noticed a new movie in IMDB today called Shakespeare's Daughter. The cast is a number of big names - Eric Roberts, Chevy Chase, Tom Sizemore, Bonnie Wright...

The plot so far is only the short synopsis, "Eugen Devlin, a once famous, and now reclusive poet searches through his past looking for redemption and peace."

I don't expect that it's got much if any Shakespeare material in it (other than the almost obligatory references to Shakespeare's literary genius, like something out of Good Will Hunting), but who knows?  Does anybody know the material?  I'm wondering if it's perhaps based on a book or something that might tell us what to expect.
