Watch The Brutally Beautiful Trailer For MACBETH Starring Michael Fassbender And Marion Cotillard

“What’s done cannot be undone” – Lady Macbeth (Act V, Scene I)

The dark and thrilling first trailer is here for MACBETH.

MACBETH is directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown) and stars Academy-Award nominee Michael Fassbender (12 Years A Slave) and Academy-Award winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie En Rose). The film 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).

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 Shakespeare’s most famous and compelling characters, a story of all-consuming passion and ambition, set in war torn Scottish landscape.

The film had its World Premiere at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival and was the final movie to screen in Competition.

With a screenplay by Jacob Koskoff & Todd Louiso and Michael Lesslie, MACBETH (2015) 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).

In his review, Robbie Collin (The Telegraph) says, “The tragedy of Macbeth feels as vital and visceral here as it did in the hands of Roman Polanski and Akira Kurosawa, whose previous retellings are as good as Shakespeare on film gets. Kurzel’s version stands respectably beside them, and there can be few higher compliments than that.”

MACBETH opens in UK cinemas on October 2, 2015; The Weinstein Company will release the movie in the US.
