Back of the Box:
    Hot young stars, a hip driving soundtrack, plus a provocative tale of jealousy and betrayal combine to create this controversial modern-day version of Shakespear's classic, Othello. O is Odin James (Mekhi Phifer), the school's star basketball player and future NBA hopeful. He has the adoration of all, including the team's coach (Martin Sheen) and the Dean's beautiful daughter, Desi (Julia Stiles). Odin's troubled friend Hugo (Josh Hartnett), the coach's son is deeply resentful of his father's preference of Odin on and off the court.When Hugo plots a diabolical scheme to sow the seeds of mistrust between O and Desi, it sets in motion a disturbing chain of events which erupts into a firestorm of breathtaking intensity, "O" is a stunning tale that will stay with you long after it's final, powerful frame.

Notes: This movie is based on William Shakespear's Othello and happens to be Julia Stiles' third modern adaptation of a Shakespear play. Can you name the others?

Answer: 10 Things I Hate About You which is an adaptation of The Taming Of The Shrew, and Hamlet a modernized version releaed in 2000 with Ethan Hawke.
