Had the Boorman-directed film come to fruition, Stoppard said, “it would have been a heavy number.”īut by the time he wrote the screenplay to “Rosencrantz” for the 1990 film version that was released theatrically in 1991, Stoppard had several film projects to his credit, including co-writing Terry Gilliam’s 1985 classic, “Brazil.” ![]()
