They are calling it an adaptation, presumably because it is in modern dress, but from the trailer it seems like the text is intact.

IMHO and "Adaptation" is West Side Story. It is not an adaptation if you only change the time period. The 1996 Romeo and Juliet cast Mercutio as a drag queen, the friar has a tattoo, and they used Prince songs for musical interludes. But the text was completely intact.
