Featuring a hot all-male cast and set in a military academy, Private Romeo's fabulously homoerotic slant on the classic play makes it the most exciting adaptation of Shakespeare's masterwork since Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. When eight cadets are left behind at an isolated military high school, the greatest romantic drama ever written seeps out of the classroom and permeates their lives. Incorporating the original text of Romeo and Juliet - replete with the play's most romantic, tender and also vicious moments, the classic story is treated to a decidedly modern... twist via YouTube videos and lip-synced indie rock music. Private Romeo takes us on a intense, affectionate ride that only Shakespeare (and a group of the sexiest military men you've ever seen!) could have inspired. [show more]

Innovative adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet' set in an all-male military academy. Following on from the success of Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo and Juliet' (1996), which transplanted the original dialogue of the play into a modern setting and aesthetic, the film sticks closely to the Shakespearean text while telling of the love, loss and conflict between a group of young men. Eight male cadets, including Josh (Hale Appleman) and Ken (Charlie Barnett), inhabit the military school and find their lives fused with the spirit of Shakespeare's most famous tragedy.
Based on the original work by Shakespeare, PRIVATE ROMEO is the story of a group of eight cadets that get left behind at an isolated military high school and soon the romance of ROMEO AND JULIET begins to permeate their lives.
