Torn by Shakespeare

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen, two X-Men and Royal Shakespeare alum, re-team to do an interpretation of The Merchant of Venice, thought to be in the vein of Baz Lurhman's R&J and taking place in modern-day Las Vegas.

I'm torn. In one sense I've seen both of these actors work in Shakespeare before (McKellen in Richard III and Patrick Stewart as Shylock for a BBC special), and would LOVE to see these two working together on this work. But the interpretation concerns me. Time will tell, I guess.
