Sony developing reimagined Romeo & Juliet script

Sony is looking to develop a “Romeo and Juliet” story.

The studio is in final negotiations for Neil Widener and Gavin James’ spec script “Verona” (which is the city in which the star-crossed lovers lived.)

Joe Roth is attached to produce.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision reports that “the script is said to reimagine the classic love story through a lens of an epic, 300-style world.” No more specific details are known.
