“Prospera’s throne (Helen Mirren) is usurped by her brother, and she is sent off on a ship with her four-year-old daughter. They find themselves stranded on an island devoid of society. A power struggle develops between Caliban (Djimon Hounsou) and Prospera due to her efforts to become a father figure to Miranda (Felicity Jones).”

Djimon Hounsou and Russell Brand look like crazy on those pictures of the Tempest movie. They must have enjoyed their roles.
