‘Romeo and Juliet’ turning hip hop on Netflix thanks to our favorite icons Will Smith and Queen Latifah.

The Hollywood Reporter said the movie is described as a twist to the William Shakespeare classic set against “the urban rhythms of New York.” The story follows “a young waitress from the streets of Brooklyn and an aspiring musician from a wealthy family whose unconventional romance forces them to confront their life choices.”

This Netflix film will reunite the two rappers turned actors once again like the 90s. Queen credits Will for giving her “my first job on TV” when she guest starred on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
