Matthew Lewis and Ella Wiseman set to star in Romeo and Juliet modern remake!!
Early on this month, one of the most anticipated movies of 2016, Me Before You, was released. Fans have been super excited for this movie since it was announced, old Harry Potter fans even more excited when on-screen, and now off-screen, couple Ella Wiseman and Matthew Lewis were announced as two of the stars.

However, what we're really focusing on right now is Lewis' big announcement.
During an interview, Lewis was asked what was next professionally for him and Wiseman. After getting the okay from Wiseman, Lewis replied, "Professionally, I think our next project is going to be a modern retelling of Romeo and Juliet, something like the Leonardo DiCaprio movie from the 90's."
The internet exploded with excitement, as we can understand!! Lewis and Wiseman starring as one of history's most iconic couples?! Sign us up!!!
"I'm definitely excited," Lewis continued to tell the interviewer. "It's such a classic story and I love Shakespeare a lot. I love seeing his plays live or watching the movie remakes or retellings. And Ella is a spectacular actress in every sense of...of you know...acting. So, uh, yeah! Very excited!"
So are we Matt!!
It is not yet clear as to when filming will begin as Lewis is currently about to star in a play entitled Unfaithful in London and Wiseman has been casted in an upcoming live action Cinderella movie (also starring her Game of Thrones costar Richard Madden).
Either way, we are so excited for thi movie from the couple and for whatever else is in store for the two!!
