This is great news as the last time these two worked together was in ‘American Beauty‘ and it’s been way too long.

Kevin Spacey and Sam Mendes are reuniting for a trans-Atlantic production of “Richard III,” producers announced Thursday. Spacey will play the villainous English king in a production of Shakespeare’s play directed by Mendes, which is set for an international tour in 2012.

The play will form the third and final season of the Bridge Project, which brings together British and American actors on classic plays directed by Mendes.

“Richard III” will open at New York’s Brooklyn Academy of Music in February 2012, then tour internationally before opening that May at London’s Old Vic Theatre, where Spacey is artistic director.

A fantastic duo, this is a ‘must see’ on our to do list!
