Why Julia Roberts Walked Away From Shakespeare In Love (& Cost The Film Millions)

Director Edward Zwick recently explained why Julia Roberts walked away from Shakespeare in Love, costing the film millions of dollars. Released in 1998 from The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel director John Madden, the film was both a critical and box office success, winning Best Picture at the 71st Academy Awards. However, the project originally began under Zwick in 1991 with a screenplay from Marc Norman. Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead scribe Tom Stoppard rewrote the script, attracting Roberts to the production.
