'Cymbeline' Movie: WATCH Ethan Hawke Discusses Shakespeare In DVD/Blu-Ray Special Features Clip!

From Lionsgate Home Entertainment, the modernization of a William Shakespeare classic continues with its arrival on Blu-ray and DVD. Check out the behind-the-scenes clip spotlighting the performance of Boyhood actor, Ethan Hawke, as Iachimo in the Cymbeline movie.

Back in 2000, writer/director Michael Almereyda came up with a modern update of Hamlet. In the modernized twist, Claudius has become the CEO of "Denmark Corporation" after killing his brother, Hamlet's father. The Dead Poets Society actor was riveting in the title role, as the revenge-seeking young prince bordering on losing his mind. The adaptation keeps the Shakespearean dialogue spoken by a star-studded cast, including Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks), Bill Murray (Lost In Translation) and Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan).

And now, Almereyda and Hawk re-team with another adaptation, tackling one of The Bard's shortest plays. The Shakespeare play was originally set in Ancient Britain and based on the legend of early Celtic British King Cunobeline.

Harkening back to Shakespeare's timeless hemes of innocence and jealousy, viewers find themselves in the middle of a gritty war between dirty cops and an outlaw biker gang, In the modern retelling, when extortion, betrayal and fiery passions threaten his criminal empire, a drug kingpin (Ed Harris) is driven to desperate measures.

Just like Hamlet, Cymbeline features powerhouse performances from Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil), John Leguizamo (Romeo and Juliet), Penn Badgley (Margin Call), Anton Yelchin (Star Trek), Bill Pullman (Independence Day), Delroy Lindo (Believe), and Dakota Johnson (50 Shades of Grey).

Bonus materials include a behind-the-scenes featurette, extended interviews with cast and crew. Almereyda and Hawke are joined by Shakespeare expert Anthony Holden in the exclusive audio commentary.
