Jude Law is Hamlet

Jude Law walks the red carpet at the North American premiere screening of Sleuth during the Toronto International Film Festival 2007 held at the Roy Thomson Hall on Monday.

It was announced earlier this week that Jude will play the title role in a revival of “Shakespeare’s greatest play,” Hamlet. Under the direction of Kenneth Branagh at London’s West End, Jude will play the role in 2009 as part of a one-year Donmar Warehouse season at the nearby Wyndham’s Theatre.

Mr. Law was last seen on the London stage playing Doctor Faustus at the Young Vic in 2002.
