10 Movies You May Not Realise Are Based On The Work Of Shakespeare

10. Zombies + Romeo And Juliet = Warm Bodies

What could possibly be more romantic than Romeo and Juliet? a tragic love story about two youngsters whose love and passion overrides the hate between their feuding families. How about chucking zombies in to the mix? Because nothing says romance quite like a zombie flick, and that is exactly what Warm Bodies did to great effect in 2013.

In this update, a zombie (Nicholas Hoult) falls for a human (Theresa Palmer), despite the fact, you know, he could eat her at any time… and they say romance is dead.

Yes, Warm Bodies manages to adapt one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays, adding a fresh spin on the classic story, capitalising on the resurgent love for all things zombies, after the success of The Walking Dead.
