Macbeth - Clips

Macbeth is a Scottish Duke who is greeted by three witches following a victorious battle. They reveal to him a prophecy which speaks of him one day becoming King of Scotland, and not only that, but he shall not be killed by any of woman born. Poisoned by greed, he confides in his wife Lady Macbeth, who is equally consumed with fantasies of riches and royalty. She convinces him to kill the current King to gain power and succeeds, though not without a price. From that moment on, this noble man transforms into a tyrant bound by guilt and paranoia and willing to do anything to maintain his throne and keep his dark secret hidden. But the more he tries to find peace within himself, the more danger he is faced with.

Based on the 400 year old play of the same name by William Shakespeare, this new cinematic adaptation of 'Macbeth' has been directed by Justin Kurzel ('Snowtown') and written by Michael Lesslie (with whom Kurzel is working on 'Assassin's Creed') and writing duo Jacob Koskoff and Todd Louiso ('The Marc Pease Experience'). Having already been nominated for the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival, the movie is set to hit the UK on October 2nd 2015.
