Jude Law in Hamlet Coming to Broadway
Originally posted 06/30/2009 12:25PM
Jude Law is about to vacillate – in front of everybody.
The actor (and PEOPLE's 2004 Sexiest Man Alive), who's currently starring in a Donmar Warehouse production of Shakespeare's Hamlet, will bring the show to Broadway in September, The New York Times reports. His Hamlet will play a 12-week run at the Broadhurst Theater, with previews beginning Sept. 12, says the paper.
Reviews of Law's performance have been particularly positive. "[He] joins the modern pantheon of spellbinding sweet princes with a performance of rare vulnerability and emotional openness," Charles Spencer wrote in the Telegraph. Times of London critic Benedict Nightingale called the actor "robust and tough."
Law, 36, previously appeared on Broadway – nude – in the 1995 play Indiscretions alongside Kathleen Turner and Cynthia Nixon. Tickets go on sale July 18.

Out to prove Sherlock Holmes's "depravity knows no bounds," Robert Downey Jr. shows off his fighting form and flippant charm in the first official trailer for the Guy Ritchie-directed film.
In the supernatural thriller, Holmes fights a Satanist with the help of his partner Watson, played by Jude Law, and is outwitted and left in handcuffs by a tightly corseted Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler.
The fast-paced and fun flick will be in theaters at Christmas. Put tickets on your wish list now!

While his divorce from Madonna goes from bad to worse with allegations of each other's failings, Guy Ritchie looked happy Thursday night as Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law took him out on the town.
The trio made a surprise visit to the White Cube Gallery in London's tony Mayfair district for a private-view exhibition held by British artist Sam Taylor-Wood.
"Guy was in great form, hanging out with friends having a good time," one gallery guest tells PEOPLE. "He seemed quite merry and had his arms around lots of people and smiling."

Jude, Johnny & Colin to Assume Heath's Last Role
Originally posted 02/18/2008 09:00AM
It is taking three top names Jude Law, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell – to step into Heath Ledger's final role, in the unfinished movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, according to a rep for Law.
Speaking to the BBC, Law's spokeswoman confirmed that the three actors would play Ledger's role of Tony. She was unaware, however, as to how the part would be restructured in the film, which deals with magic.
Ledger, 28, was still shooting the $30-million movie, directed by Terry Gilliam and costarring Christopher Plummer, when he was found dead from an accidental overdose of prescription medicines on Jan. 22.
