Directed by Julie Taymor and starring Helen Mirren as Prospera(!). US release in December.

I'd say "This is clearly going to pass"... but the only other female role is Miranda, Prospera's daughter. And I can't remember if Prospero in the play says anything to Miranda other than "here's some backstory about how I got exiled by my brother," "men are dangerous so watch out for them," and "aw, how sweet, you fell in love with that guy!"
