Cada uno por su lado, Orson Welles y Roman Polanski sacaron de la tragedia de Macbeth dos de las mejores películas de sus respectivas filmografías. El australiano Justin Kurzel, cuyo siguiente trabajo será la adaptación del videojuego Assassin’s Creed, entra ahora en el selecto grupo de cineastas que han llevado a la gran pantalla esta historia de ambición, traiciones, asesinatos y brujería ambientada en la Escocia del siglo XI, y su propuesta se hará notar.
Para ello cuenta con un reparto apoteósico encabezado por Michael Fassbender y Marion Cotillard en los roles protagonistas de Macbeth y Lady Macbeth, arropados por Paddy Considine, David Thewlis, Elizabeth Debicki, Jack Reynor y Sean Harris, retratados por la fotografía del estupendo Adam Arkapaw (Animal Kingdom, Lore, Top of the Lake, True Detective) con un despliegue de recursos visuales imposible de pasar por alto. El primer tráiler lo deja bien claro.

Imagine "Game of Thrones" with Michael Fassbender speaking Shakespearean. Then you've got "Macbeth."
The first teaser trailer for Justin Kurzel's "Macbeth" shows Fassbender's titular fighter covered in streaks of dirt and blood on the battlefield. After receiving a prophecy that he will be King, Macbeth slips into the King's tent with a dagger. Between brooding looks of stern conviction from Fassbender, intense battle scenes and Marion Cotillard as Lady MacBeth, Kurzel's adaptation is sure to be an epic awards contender.
The film was also nominated for the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, so there's a lot to look forward to. "Macbeth" does not yet have a U.S. release date.
