No idea what to expect from Taymor's Tempest - all I can tell from the trailer is a lot of CGI is happening. Titus was not only a near-perfect movie, it achieved that despite the (probably deliberately) abominable source material. She made what should be impossible look easy. In Frida some things were great, others sucky - a lot of false notes, somehow; in Across the Universe next to nothing was great, next to everything even suckier, even falser, despite the fact that there should have been no way to fail with that material. I mean, come on. A musical about the '60s made of Beatles songs? Give that opportunity to any of the ten, twenty other living name directors, they'd hit it out of the park. Hell, many hacks would. Lars von stupid fuck narcissist TRIER would. Such a massive disappointment.

I don't even know how you'd begin to film The Tempest, so maybe difficulty plus Shakespeare will prove to be her comfort zone again.
