Hawke 'Hamlet' to be Miramax

NEW YORK-Miramax Films has acquired all rights to double A films'

Hawke as a brooding filmmaker and heir to the Denmark Corp. Set in New
York, the film also stars Kyle McLachlan as Claudius, Sam Shepard as the
ghost of Hamlet's father, Diane Venora as Gertrude and Bill Murray as
Polonius. Michael Almereyda, who helmed the vampire tale "Nadja" and
Trimark's upcoming mummy movie "Trance," adapted the Bard's play and
directed.
