We recently brought you the news that dick-dangling British thespian Michael Fassbender will lead a new big-screen screen adaptation of William Shakespeare‘s iconic play MACBETH. As for his driven and maniacal other half? Well, we can now confirm Oscar-winning stunner Natalie Portman will appear alongside Fassbender once again, following their work on Terrence Malick’s still-to-be-released (and untitled) music drama. They were both supposed to appear in the seemingly cursed production of western thriller JANE GOT A GUN before X-MEN: DAY OF FUTURE PAST scheduling forced the Fass to exit.
This early casting is shaping up to make, what I’ve always felt to be the Bard’s best work, a must see. However, most exciting for myself is the opportunity to see Australian director Justin Kurzel follow up his unforgettable and chilling fact-based shocker SNOWTOWN. A gripping film that certainly got under my skin.
MACBETH has been adapted by Todd Louiso and Jacob Koskoff.
