Burza w kosmosie. „Zakazana planeta” jako gatunkowa trawestacja Szekspira
The Tempest in space. Forbidden Planet as a genre travesty of Shakespeare

Summary/Abstract: Dawid Głownia writes about Forbidden Planet – a science fiction film adaptation of Shakespeare's The Tempest. The author outlines the process of creating the film in order to point out the changes which have taken place in the perception of Forbidden Planet with regard to its relationship to The Tempest. Trying to answer the question why it was only in the 1970s that the film became universally recognised as an adaptation of Shakespeare's work, Głownia presents the promotional mechanisms surrounding Forbidden Planet. Pointing out numerous similarities and departures from the literary original, the author claims that watching the film with particular focus on references to The Tempest can lead to an overinterpretation of Forbidden Planet's plot.
