‘Motherland’ Star Paul Ready Among Cast For ‘All That Glitters’, A Retelling Of ‘Romeo & Juliet’ Set In A UK School
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Motherland actor Paul Ready is set to star with Elliot Grihault (House of the Dragon) in feature film All That Glitters, a young adult comedy-drama inspired by Shakespeare and how he might have written in the modern day.
