Ex-Machina
This film plays on the director’s interpretation of Shakespeare’s famous drama ‘The Tempest.’ The film does not follow the play entirely; instead, it takes inspiration and represents in a modern sense with a computer programmer spending time with a robot for a week for a test.

Mean Girls
Yes, you read that right! Mean Girls is another modern take on Julius Caesar by Shakespeare. Regina takes on the role of Julius, while Cady Heron plays the character of Brutus in the story. The story is only loosely inspired by the play but still manages to do justice.
