Helen Mirren, who attended last night's premiere of Julie Taymor's A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM movie, believes capturing Shakespeare on film goes beyond box office statistics.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center presents its popular FREE Film Society Talks series, sponsored by HBO. The returning summer series kicks off today, June 15, with director, writer, and producer Julie Taymor, who will discuss the filmed version of her critically acclaimed stage production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. The upcoming events will include a combination of clips, trailers, and extended conversations, with questions also taken from the audience.

Julie Taymor's filmed Shakespeare play A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, set to be released in theaters next week, was recently the subject of a lawsuit involving entertainment producer Ben Latham-Jones, who had allegedly 'disappeared.' BWW has just received news that the complaint has been withdrawn.

Amphibian Stage Productions (Kathleen Culebro, Artistic Director) will show a film of the Theatre for a New Audience's production of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare, directed by Julie Taymor, on Wednesday August 12 & Thursday August 13 at 7pm in partnership with the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.  This programming is not affiliated with Amphibian's National Theatre Live series. Running time is 148 minutes.
