Best Answer

William Shakespeare did not write screenplays, because films did not get invented until about 260 years after his death and films with sound did not get invented until 311 years after his death. The answer is, Shakespeare did not write any films or even filmscripts.

He did, however write a number of stageplays which have been adapted for the screen numerous times, both before and after "talkie" pictures. The internet Movie database lists more than 800 films adapted from his plays, the earliest in 1899 and the most recent only now in development. The Guinness Book of World Records lists Shakespeare as the person who has had more films adapted from his works than any other, and the competition is not even close.
