ED WESTWICK GETS SHAKESPEARIENCED

Westwick “Gossip Girl” star Ed Westwick is in final negotiations to play Tybalt in a new adapation of William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet,” Variety's Jeff Snedier exclusively reports. Hailee Steinfeld is set to star as Juliet, while Holly Hunter was recently cast as The Nurse. No Romeo casting news yet (and we thumb our noses at the first blogger to write "Wherefore art thou, Romeo?" because that does NOT mean what you think it does).
