Originally intended for release for October 17, 1999, it was shelved following the Columbine High School massacre O was finally released on August 31, 2001. It was filmed in Charleston, South Carolina in the spring of 1999. The film contains many different styles of music, ranging from rap to opera. It was directed by Tim Blake Nelson and written by Brad Kaaya. It stars Mekhi Phifer, Julia Stiles, and Josh Hartnett. The story is told mostly from Hugo's oint of view, and compared to the original, Othello is insecure and not very "noble." He's really just a normal kid, but obviously had some kind of complex, and the drugs Hugo gave him made it worse.O is a 2001 American romantic thriller film, and a modern adaptation of William Shakespeare's Othello, set in an American high school. He hates and loves Odin, instead of just hating him. He is motivated mostly by his father's indifference, but a lot of his actions are left ambiguous. In O, Josh Hartnett plays him as somewhat vulnerable and confused. He hates Othello for unknown reasons, and vows to destroy him. In the play, Iago (Hugo) is not very emotional or weak. I watched the one with Lawrence Fishburne, and read the cliff notes last year for class (I'm busy, not stupid!), and the one big difference between this movie and the play is how the characters are written. Josh Hartnett is Hugo, and he is obsessed with Odin, who his coach dad likes better than him. Julia Stiles portrays his (dumb) white girlfriend, Desi. Mekhi plays the only black basketball player in an all-white high school.
