Probably, after it gets the [_Gone Girl_ treatment](http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/girl-author-write-hamlet-adaptation-article-1.1810496). Best-selling author Gillian Flynn has just signed on to write a reimagined version of _Hamlet_ aimed at modern audiences — the very ones who soaked up her twisted, marriage-from-hell thriller. Flynn’s _Hamlet_ will be part of the Hogarth Shakespeare series, an international publishing initiative across the Penguin Random House Group, which will release modern retellings of Shakespeare by the likes of internationally renowned authors. Flynn is just the latest writer to join the project, which has already signed on Margaret Atwood (_The Tempest_), Jo Nesbo (_Macbeth_) and Anne Tyler (_The Taming of the Shrew_), among others. The series is set to launch in 2016 to coincide with the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death. There’s no word yet on exactly when Flynn’s _Hamlet_ will be published, but we’re already dying to hear Ophelia’s version of the famous “Cool Girl” rant.
