At 29, Ethan Hawke is the youngest actor to play Hamlet on film. He is also close to the age Hamlet is supposed to be in the original text, which is 30.
In keeping with the modernized presence of all things Shakespeare throughout the film, Hamlet travels on a plane. This is also a play on words because in the original text of the play the scene takes place in "A plain in Denmark".
The only lines in the movie which are not from the original play are messages played by machines, or when the GraveDigger is singing a song ("All Along the Watchtower").
In the scene in which Claudius confronts Hamlet in the laundromat, he pushes Hamlet from machine 2 to machine 3. This correlates with Shakespeare's play, in which the confrontation begins in Act IV, scene 2 and continues on to scene 3.
This is Julia Stiles' third modern film adaptation of a Shakespearean play. She was Desi Brable (Desdemona) in "O" which was based on "The Moor of Venice" or by its more common title "Othello" and Kat Stratford (Katerina) in "Ten Things I Hate About You" which was based on "The Taming of the Shrew".
"Hamlet: The play's the thing, with which I'll catch the conscience of the king."
"Ghost: I am thy father's spirit."
