Mel Gibson's Hamlet

Mel Gibson also starred in a version of Hamlet, albeit a much shorter version than Branagh's. This version was set in medieval times and followed the "traditional" interpretations rather closely. It also cut out a great deal of the script, streamlining it into a mere two hours. Hamlet was directed by Franco Zeffirelli, and starred Mel Gibson, Glenn Close, Ian Holm, and Helena Bonham-Carter.
