New Trailer for Macbeth Appears Through the Mist
Is that a Fassbender we see before us? The new trailer for the Scottish play, Macbeth, features Michael Fassbender’s Macbeth in the throes of PTSD, a suitably scheming Marion Cotillard as Lady Macbeth, and a whole host of Shakespearean murk and intrigue.
For fans of cauldron based murder fests, Macbeth sees Fassbender’s Thane of Glamis, a loyal servant to King Duncan (David Thewlis) and cohort to Banquo (Paddy Considine) get his head turned by three witches in the post-battle mists of the Scottish highlands who prophecies speak ofgreat power in his future. Their soothsaying takes root with the help of the honey poured into his ear by Lady Macbeth.
Dubbed ‘a medieval Apocalypse Now’ director Justin Kurzel rounds out the cast with Sean Harris, Elizabeth Debicki and Jack Reynor.
Macbeth is out in the UK on October 2.
