Michael Radford’s The Merchant of Venice began shooting on this day in 2003. Starring Al Pacino, Jeremy Irons, Joseph Fiennes and Lynn Collins, the film joins the long line of Shakespearean adaptations with brilliant actors and lackluster box office numbers. Despite the financial hit however, the film went on to critical success at the BAFTA, David di Donatello and Satellite Awards.
