The pedigree for The Tempest directed by Julie Taymor keeps growing.  It will have its world premiere as the closing film at the Venice Film Festival in September, and now it has been tapped as the centerpiece film for this year’s NY Film Festival.

Here’s what Richard Pena the program director at the Film Society of Lincoln Center said when making the announcement:

Julie Taymor is one of the boldest, most innovative artists working in American theater and film, and her elegant adaptation of ‘The Tempest’ is a perfect illustration of her unique artistry.

Amen.

Film opens in the US on December 10.
