Games Radar revealed the posters and The Guardian debuted the new clip, which features the eponymous king's first encounter with the infamous three witches in the infamous scene from Shakespeare's play. As far as the one-sheets go, of which there are two, one features the aforementioned witches whilst the other puts the spotlight on a battle-scarred and conscience-haunted Fassbender. Of course, the former is captioned of the play's most iconic lines, "All hail Macbeth that shall be king". The posters are dark, gritty and absolutely stunning. From the last trailer we saw too (watch it again here), the film itself looks gorgeous and I cannot wait to see this adaption of the iconic story.
Here's the film's official synopsis:
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 literature’s most famous and compelling characters, a story of all-consuming passion and ambition set in war torn Scotland.
From the producers of The King’s Speech and Shame and directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown). MACBETH stars Michael Fassbender (Twelve Years A Slave, Shame, Hunger) and Academy-Award winner Marion Cotillard (Two Days, One Night, La Vie En Rose) as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, along with 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).
With Justin Kurzel at the helm, and starring Michael Fassbender, Marion Cotillard, Jack Reynor, Sean Harris and Paddy Considine, Macbeth opens, here in the UK, on October 2nd, 2015.
