A film version of The Tempest, directed by Julie Taymor and starring Helen Mirren as Prospero, was released in 2010 and is now available in DVD form. It is a visually exciting film and also makes the story reasonably comprehensible.

There have of course been film and TV versions of the Tempest going back to 1908 (The 1908 film is quite fun, using the relatively new use of stop action and other camera tricks to portray Ariel's magic). And the story has resulted in a lot of off-the-wall adaptations, some using Shakespeare's language and some abandoning it altogether.
