Kyle Allen: It's like, he’s a movie star governor who lives in Los Angeles. ![]() Kyle Allen: Off the top of my head, I think Arnold Schwartzenegger is ironically and phenomenally very California. ![]() You know what I mean?ĭio Anthony: As a born and bred California boy, what place or thing do you consider to be quintessential California? Kyle Allen: Well these are good questions. You know what I mean? I can’t keep taking up space in time.ĭio Anthony: That’s a very existential answer. I have to get out of the way for the next generation. Out of your 24 years, is there an age you'd choose to stay for the rest of your days? When you have a bunch of good days, you're like, gosh, I would repeat that one, but I would also repeat this one, but this one doesn't have that one in it…ĭio Anthony: How about when it comes to age? I’m obsessed with aging. Kyle Allen: You know.I’ve just had so many good days.

What will this latest Romeo and Juliet-inspired tale add to the collective story? Fans can find out when Rosaline streams on Hulu, beginning October 14th.Kyle Allen: So, we’re here to talk about my movie. Kyle AllenĪllen goes on to describe Romeo as “dimwitted” which is a nice way of saying that for much of the time audiences are engaged with the character, his decisions aren’t made by his brain so much as…well, not his brain. And other than that, that’s pretty much the entirety of his personality. He’s completely obsessed with the concept and the idea of love. Romeo would fall in love with a stick if you’d let him. At a recent global press conference for Rosaline, actor Kyle Allen, who brings Romeo to life in the film, discussed that very topic. Romeo’s quick change of heart upon seeing Juliet has often been seen as love at first sight but taken another way, it’s really just a young man who is a romantic and is in love with the idea of being in love. The unseen character is the unrequited love of Romeo at the beginning of the play and the reason he ultimately decides to attend the Capulet party where he meets and falls in love with Juliet. With an ending as traumatic and final as the one written by the Bard, a sequel to the story would be a tough nut to crack if one wanted to extend the story however, prequels and/or concurrent stories focusing on other characters who survived the feud between the Capulets and the Montagues are fair game and that’s where Hulu found inspiration for their upcoming film Rosaline. The main beats of the story are fairly well-known as young students across the globe are exposed to it as part of their studies making the beginning, middle and end of Shakespeare’s play common knowledge. From direct retellings such as 1936’s and 1968’s Romeo and Juliet and 1996’s William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet to reimaginings such as Gnomeo and Juliet and Warm Bodies, the love story of the titular characters has been etched into the collective consciousness of us all. For centuries, Romeo and Juliet has been used as inspiration for what’s likely an incalculable number of stories about star-crossed lovers. ![]()
