MACBETH [2015, UK - English]
Based on The Tragedy of Macbeth, Australian director Justin Kurzel (Snowtown, 2011) is bringing one the darkest and most powerful works of Williams Shakespeare to the silver screens. Somehow not given as much cinematic treatment as other Shakespeare adaptations like Romeo & Juliet and Hamlet, the Scotland-set play deals with the crumbling of a man as a result of his godlike-driven ego in seeking power and reign. I personally think it's too delicious a plot to be ignored. And what more when Kurzel recruits Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard to play the leading roles of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
The story starts with Macbeth, the Duke of Scotland receiving a premonition from a trio of witches that he will one day rule Scotland. Spurred to action by his ambitious wife Lady Macbeth, his passion soon culminates into a dark, power-hungry and blood-thirsty ambition. Scheduled for release in October (UK) and December (USA), the film co-stars Paddy Considine, Sean Harris and Jack Reynor.
