OFFICIAL SELECTION: Slamdance Film Festival, AFI Dallas
A slumming swinger lands a job directing an off-Broadway adaption of Hamlet - and finds himself in the middle of a 2000-year-old vampire problem in this smart, fast and funny flick that blew audiences away at this year's Slamdance.
Dans ce film brillant, endiablé et drôle qui a ravi le public du dernier Festival Slamdance, un mec branché décroche le contrat de la mise en scène d’une adaptation Off-Broadway de Hamlet, et s’empêtre dans une scabreuse histoire de vampires qui remonte à 2000 ans.

Full Description:
Julian Marsh (Jake Hoffman - indeed, son of Dustin) is an out of work ladies man who lands a job directing a bizarre off-Broadway adaption of Hamlet. After casting his best friend (Kris Lemche) and his ex-girlfriend (Devon Aoki) in the show, Julian finds himself in the middle of a two thousand year old conspiracy that explains the connection between Shakespeare, the Holy Grail and some seriously sexy vampires. It turns out that the play was actually written by a master vampire named Theo Horace (John Ventimiglia) and it's up to Julian to recover the Grail in order to reverse the vampire's curse... If only being undead wasn't so much God-damned fun! A crazy huge success when it launched at this year's Slamdance, ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE UNDEAD is a smart, fast and funny blast of pure inspiration. Features a score by Sean Lennon and a surprising supporting performance by the Karate Kid himself, Ralph Macchio!
