Check out the first pictures of Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.
In the first two official images for the new big screen adaptation of William Shakespeare’s infamous Scottish play, Macbeth (a theatre kid just crossed himself), we are allowed to glimpse at Michael Fassbender as the Bard’s most ambitious of protagonists and of Marion Cotillard as the cleanliness enthusiast, Lady Macbeth.
As released via Daily Mail, fans can enjoy the rather period approach to this medieval story (though written during James I’s reign), which features the king-to-be on Scotland’s ancient battlefields and in the arms of his loving and very, very supportive wife.
In this humble writer’s estimation, there has yet to be a satisfying film adaptation of this classic tale of greed, guilt, and guts. So, this Justin Kurzel directed take on the story of court intrigue, betrayal, and bewitching superstition is more than welcome.
Like the wood of Birnam, Macbeth will move into theaters sometime in 2015.
