Magneto and Captain Picard will star in The Merchant of ... Vegas ????"The new version will keep Shakespeare's dialogue but will unashamedly set the action on the resort's versions of the Rialto Bridge, St Marks Square and the Grand Canal. No attempt will be made to pass off the replica settings as the real Venice. On the contrary, Stewart, 65, who is also producing the film, believes that America's gambling capital is the perfect backdrop for Shakespeare's classic tale of reckless gambling, greed and money lending. Controversially, the film is also expected to make use of the city's thriving gay scene as it tries to explore the nature of the relationship between Antonio, the hero of the play, and Bassanio, his young protégé."
