Roland Emmerich - Anonymous - October 28th 2011

no, it's not a film about some geeks in bedrooms hacking corporate organisations... nor is it about the end of the world or alien invasion, for that matter.
This is a Roland Emmerich film about 'William Shakespeare'...  yeah, that's what I thought, too.
Anonymous is an upcoming thriller directed by Roland Emmerich. It stars Rhys Ifans and Vanessa Redgrave. It will be released theatrically in the United States on 28 October 2011. It is produced by Centropolis Entertainment and Studio Babelsberg, and distributed by Columbia Pictures.
Plot
In Elizabethan England, political intrigue abounds between the Tudors and the Cecils for the succession of Queen Elizabeth I (Vanessa Redgrave), as the Essex Rebellion moves against her. The film follows the involvement of Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford (Rhys Ifans), as not only the incestuous lover of Queen Elizabeth, but also the true author of the works of William Shakespeare.
