David Tennant was asked to play the role of the Doctor because the showrunner, Russell T Davies, had worked with David on another TV show called Casanova and was very impressed with his acting. David did not actually have to audition for Doctor Who because he had worked with Russell before.
I guess the first question is: more recent than what? The 1967 Franco Zeffirelli film is more recent than the 1929 Mary Pickford film. A film of the real play using Shakespeare's dialogue (not a different play with a vaguely similar plot like 10 things I hate about you) was made by the Stratford Shakespeare Festival in 2016.
