Margot Robbie has quickly become a leading creative voice in Hollywood, not only starring in but producing multiple projects, including the award-winning I, Tonya and the upcoming thriller Terminal.
The actor has now announced her latest project: a ten-part television series retelling the iconic works of William Shakespeare from an updated female perspective.
Each episode of the as-yet untitled series will tell a standalone story, aimed at commenting on our modern society, with female creative teams spearheading helming.
LuckyChap, who are working with the Australian production company Hoodlum on the project, said: “We are thrilled about this Australian partnership as an opportunity to showcase unique, distinctly female voices in writing, and to demonstrate the high quality of the Australian film and television industry.
“The project will share diverse points of view, from writers representing the different cultures and areas within Australia, which many would not readily associate with works of Shakespeare.”
ABC Studios International will also work on the project, as will the Australian Broadcasting Company. Meanwhile, a trailer for Robbie’s movie Terminal was released earlier this week — you can watch it here.
