The film recently, a reimagining of the classic story, debuted at the Canne Film Festival in France, and reaches cinemas in the UK from October 2nd.
Here’s the plot:
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.
The highly anticipated tale of war, ambition, love, murder and betrayal, is directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown) and also stars 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).
