Portman & Fassbender Star In A Screen Version Of Macbeth

Natalie Portman is set to play Lady Macbeth opposite the recently announced Michael Fassbender in the title role in the newest film adaptation of author William Shakespeare's classic play says Screen


Portman and Fassbender recently worked together on a Terrence Malick Project, and Nat has reportedly long wanted to play the role.

This "visceral" version contains major battle scenes, is set in the 11th century, and will be performed in "the original language".

Justin Kurzel ("Snowtown") helms this update from a script adaptation by Todd Louiso and Jacob Koskoff.

The project is due to be in production by later this year.
