Jamie Campbell Bower tackles the Elizabethan Era in “Anonymous”
The year 2011 will certainly be a busy year for Jamie Campbell Bower.
Bower will appear in three films (“Harry Potter,” “Twilight,” and “Anonymous”) and also begin filming “The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.”
Perhaps the lesser known of the three films is “Anonymous,” which raises the question that perhaps William Shakespeare did not write the plays and stories that have made him famous beyond death.
Here’s the lowdown from Yahoo Movies:
Set in the political snake-pit of Elizabethan England, “Anonymous” speculates on an issue that has for centuries intrigued academics and brilliant minds such as Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, and Sigmund Freud, namely: who actually created the body of work credited to William Shakespeare? Experts have debated, books have been written, and scholars have devoted their lives to protecting or debunking theories surrounding the authorship of the most renowned works in English literature. “Anonymous” poses one possible answer, focusing on a time when scandalous political intrigue, illicit romances in the Royal Court, and the schemes of greedy nobles lusting for the power of the throne were brought to light in the most unlikely of places: the London stage.
Bower plays a young Oxford in the film.
Catch Jamie at the 1:09 and 1:34 mark.
“Anonymous” hits theaters on September 30, 2011.
Looks like September will be a busy month for both Bower and Lily Collins, as Collins has her film “Abduction” hitting theaters on September 23.
Will you be seeing “Anonymous” when it’s released?
