Othello: The Tragedy of the Moor (2008)
Pretty solid adaptation. It's quite truncated, but the only real victim of the editing is Desdemona: she's sadly reduced to little more than a plot device. Otherwise, it's actually quite well done: Carlo Rota's Othello is fantastic, and - despite a few missing bits - Matthew Deslippe makes a great, conniving Iago.
It's nothing mind-blowing - and purists would loathe it for the omissions - but if you're just a casual fan of the play it's worth seeing.
