Behind Macbeth

Regal Behaviour?

Macbeth is out in the UK now but we have a new featurette looking at how director Justin Kurzel and star Michael Fassbender brought this classic story to life on the big screen.

Macbeth is brought to you by director Justin Kurzel (Snowtown) and the producers of The King’s Speech and Shame. Academy-Award nominee Michael Fassbender (Twelve Years A Slave, Shame, Hunger) and Academy-Award winner Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night, La Vie En Rose) star as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

The star-studded cast also includes Paddy Considine (The Bourne Ultimatum), David Thewlis (the Harry Potter series), Sean Harris (Prometheus), Jack Reynor (What Richard Did) and Elizabeth Debicki (The Great Gatsby).

Macbeth is the story of a fearless warrior and inspiring leader 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 literature’s most famous and compelling characters, a story of all-consuming passion and ambition set in war-torn Scotland.
