16-year-old Hailee Steinfeld tweeted a teaser for her upcoming movie Romeo and Juliet. The photo of Steinfeld and costar Douglas Booth reads, "True love, coming soon..." "You bet it is," she tweeted.
Booth was in the Starz series Pillars of the Earth and Darren Aronofsky's upcoming Noah epic. The classic love story also stars Homeland's Damien Lewis as Lord Capulet and Ed Westwick as Tybalt, Juliet's cousin who totally hates Romeo.
Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes wrote the screenplay, and Italian filmmaker Carlo Carlei directed. The last big Romeo and Juliet adaptation we saw was the modern day set (but Shakespearan script) Romeo + Juliet with Leonardo Dicaprio and Claire Danes.

Steinfeld has been busy since her Oscar nomination two years ago for True Grit. She's currently filming Ender's Game with Abigail Breslin, Harrison Ford, and Viola Davis and was recently awarded MaxMara's Women in Film Face of the Future. Steinfeld is also the face of Miu Miu.
Romeo and Juliet comes out October 25.
