No, it was Baz Lehrman's "Romeo + Juliet" which was LOADED with famous actors and actresses. Paul Sorvino played Fulgencio Capulet, Juliet's Dad. That's the one that was set in modern-day southern California, in the town of "VERONA." The dialogue was all straight Shakespeare, but the visuals all were updated.
Example: "Put up your swords!" *closeup shows the pistols are "SWORD 9MM" *
"Bring me my Long Sword!" (Fulgencio, putting his hand on a rifle)
"I will send it post-haste." ("Post-Haste" delivery service trucks were seen at least once.)

The rule is against sequels to get TO actors that appear in both films. There's no rule against cameos to get to actors that are not in the first movie (ie, even if it were a sequel, it would be okay

Looking him up to move this along (allowed when the thread stalls for a few days due to obscurity of movie or actor), I see he was in

No, George, I think it's exactly that because I'm guessing that is just a typo from WordWolf.
