FirstMacbethTrailer Shows Just How Bloody Insane This Version Will Be

Sure we ’ve had some somebrief clips , but this is our first right look at Justin Kurzel ’s version of Macbeth in action at law . Gaze upon unstinted battle prospect ! Rejoice at the long time - one-time tale of vengeance and madness , told afresh ! wonder at the myriad grade of Scottish accent ! Oh my .

Kurzel ’s take on the authoritative Shakespearean disaster made its premiere at Cannes last month , and wo n’t release in the UK until October 2nd ( woefully , a US release date has yet to be harbinger ) — but it certainly looks to be an telling adaptation . It ’s suitably bloody and gruesome , with some striking looking visuals , and with Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard as Lord and Lady Macbeth it looks like we ’re in for a dainty from the mold as well .

Also , just to raise the mantle on this for a moment , but is the fact thatalmosteveryonepostingthistraileris run “ It ’s just like Game of Thrones ! ” making any other English Literature students want to hollo a little ? Just me ? Okay then .
