Along with Amma Asante’s romance-drama Belle, Icon Home Entertainment is bringing Carlo Cerlei’s version of the classic Shakespeare story Romeo & Julietto DVD and Digital on September 10. This new take has been especially lauded for its spectacular score, nominated for Film Music Composition of the Year and winning Film Score of the Year and Best Original Film Score for a Drama at the 2013 International Film Music Critics Awards (IFMCA).
The movie stars Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit, 2010) as Juliet and Douglas Booth (NOAH and the upcoming Jupiter Ascending) as Romeo in what is regarded a traditional adaptation of the characters and tale, but re-imagined by Academy Award-winning writer Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey). Veteran names such as Paul Giamatti, Damian Lewis, Stellan Skarsgård and Ed Westwick round out the highly talented cast. Although everyone involved is great, one must wonder how many times the same story can be retold! If you’re a fan of Shakespeare’s works and tragic love stories in general, however, check out Romeo & Julietcome September 10.
As some of you might know, Anime Expo is this weekend in Los Angeles and it looks like Aksys Games is going to be revealing something during the event. The company stated that they will have a booth set up where attendees can play Guilty Gear Xrd: Sign, Arcana Heart 3: Love Max, and BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma but they have also said that they will be making some “special video game announcements” during a panel that will be held at 3 PM PDT on July 4th.
While it is possible that this could simply be additional news for previously announced games, there is a good chance that there will probably be a game localization announcement made. Many people believe it could be Under Night In-Birth, shown above, while others are hoping for Fate Extra CCC, any guesses as to what we might see?

With almost two million battle victories recorded during the Closed Beta, our players evidently had the most fun – and success – while playing together with their friends in teams. I’ve been delighted to see teams invent strategies and tactics that we had not even imagined, and can’t wait to see what new players come up with.”
A special thanks goes out to the Beta Community from Mark Gerhard –
“Everyone has been absolutely fantastic throughout the Closed Beta and provided us with great feedback which we continue to implement into the game service through our weekly updates.”
