(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Russell Brand thinks that William Shakespeare would have loved his performance in new movie The Tempest.

Originally believed to have been written in 1610 by the famous British playwright, The Tempest is being brought back to life on the big screen and stars Russell as Trinculo and Dame Helen Mirren as a female Prospero called Prospera.

The plot tells the story of a woman banished to a desolate island with her four-year-old daughter and the subsequent years that follow.

Russell has revealed he thinks that William Shakespeare would have been a fan of the modern-day version of his famous play, because it boasts a great set and features British actress Helen.

"I think he would have thought it's a good interpretation," Russell told ET Online when asked how William Shakespeare would have felt about the film. "There's incredible locations, it's exciting and it's well interpreted, an amazing lead actor in Helen Mirren wonderful you cant really ask for more."

The British actor and comedian, who recently married singer Katy Perry, divulged that he really enjoyed working on the production.

The 35-year-old even went on to say that he thought it was some of his best work.

Its a really good film The Tempest Im really proud of this, he said. (C) Cover Media
