We chat with Rosaline director karen__maine about focusing on women's stories in the new hulu film and mixing classic settings with modern attitudes:
Rosaline, the most recent take on Romeo & Juliet, is now streaming on Hulu. With a mix of classic settings and modern language, the new film was written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber and directed by Karen Maine. The story shifts from the iconic lovers and focuses instead on Juliet's cousin Rosaline as she does her best to win back her fickle ex.
Screen Rant spoke to Maine about how she hoped to accentuate both Rosaline and Juliet's layers, which adjustments made for the perfect blend of Shakespearean drama and modern rom-com, and what project she'd like to tackle next. I 100% felt that while watching it. They both are such excellent counterpoints to each other without either one being villainized. How did you accomplish that delicate balance between the medieval and modern? Was there ever a time to get the pullback or change any dialogue or accentuate the costuming?
Working with the actors and their characters, we would bring a little Shakespearean drama to it. At times it felt like a play or a performance, and we tried to keep things theatrical. There were even moments where you have some Easter eggs with the other Shakespeare [plays], or Romeo and Juliet performances. Like [Franco] Zeffirelli and the classic Baz Luhrmann.
