Keep the focus off Hamlet, zone in on a minor character and reveal how that character contributes to a central theme in Hamlet, use several scenes to support your production concept. You have your director, script writer, actors and technical crew so get to work, you have to release your first masterpiece in time to be judged for an Academy award or maybe even an Oscar! Present your movie and a short 10 minute explanation of your revolutionary new twist on Hamlet.

=Conclusion= Congradulations! You have made your niche in Hollywood. You swept the awards ceremony like a bull in a china shop, leaving all those big Hollywood veterans like Michael Bay and George Clooney in the dust. Well...what are you doing just sitting there and reading the reviews, go back out there and make another smash hit!
