“Guardians of the Galaxy” director James Gunn’s first feature film, “Tromeo & Juliet,” is now streaming on YouTube. The movie, which was released in 1996, is a modern-day adaptation of Shakespeare’s famous play, “Romeo and Juliet.” However, it has a twist of grotesque and provocative elements that are characteristic of Troma Entertainment, the independent studio behind the film.
“Tromeo & Juliet” follows the star-crossed lovers Tromeo Que (played by Will Keenan) and Juliet Capulet (played by Jane Jensen) as they navigate their forbidden love amidst the chaos of feuding families and societal expectations.
The film is known for its mix of humor, gore, and social commentary. It tackles themes of love, sexuality, and the constraints of societal norms. It also features over-the-top violence and dark humor, typical of Troma Entertainment’s movies.
“Tromeo & Juliet” received mixed reviews upon its release but has since gained a cult following. It has been praised for its unique spin on the classic story, as well as its subversive and irreverent approach to filmmaking. The movie showcases James Gunn’s early directorial style, which would later evolve and gain mainstream recognition with the “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise.
Now, fans of James Gunn and Troma Entertainment can enjoy “Tromeo & Juliet” on YouTube, where it is available for streaming. It is an opportunity to see Gunn’s creative roots and witness the birth of his distinctive filmmaking style. So grab some popcorn and get ready for a wild and unconventional take on the beloved Shakespearean tale.
