StudioCanal UK has
released the first trailer for Justin Kurzel's intense take on William Shakespeare's
Macbeth, starring Michael Fassbender as the man who would be king, and Marion
Cotillard as his wife.
I'm quite intrigued with Kurzel's
approach to the material. On the one hand the filmmaker delivers a more
traditional type of film, which is fine, but on the other he goes for moments
of slow motion, characters having asides to deliver Shakespeare's immortal
words, and stylized shots. Intrigued indeed.
Opening later on in
the year, Macbeth also stars Sean Harris, Paddy Considine, David Thewlis, Jack
Reynor, and Elizabeth Debicki.
MACBETH is the story
of a fearless warrior and inspiring leader (Michael Fassbender) brought low by
ambition and desire. A thrilling interpretation of the dramatic realities of
the times and a reimagining of what wartime must have been like for one of
Shakespeare’s most famous and compelling characters, a story of all-consuming
passion and ambition, set in war torn Scottish landscape.
