What with so many teen romances these days involving either vampires or some other supernatural creature, it’s quite refreshing to see a film that doesn’t turn its back on tradition but actually embraces it. “Romeo & Juliet” just got a brand new trailer.

You can see it embedded below in full.

Starring Hailee Steinfeld and Douglas Booth as Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers, this particular take on the classic love story seems to play close to the original.

So, if you’re a romantic at heart and W. Shakespeare is on your favorites list, this is probably one film you should not miss. Perhaps you will bring your significant other along as well.

Paul Giamatti, Damian Lewis, Ed Westwick, Stellan Skarsgard, and Kodi Smit-McPhee also star. The release date is set for October 11 for the US.
