Doing the dramatic scene and to be murdered so beautifully by Michael Fassbender. "I actually quite look forward to being murdered. Michael Fassbender and Director Justin Kurzel (Image: Getty Images) Thewlis described how he approached taking on a character who is brutally murdered.
"I was afraid of Shakespeare but it was amazing how much it opened up, and when you see through the verses you see gold there and you're like, 'wow, this isn't the puzzle I thought it was going to be' - it's a really beautiful thing." You've got a character, so just play the character - that's it. "I just made sure I knew the verses and turned up on time. "From the perspective of other actors you feel like you're being judged before you've even done it, but you just have to go for it," he said. "I love the city - its architecture and the really great people."Ĭonsidine, who had never taken on a Shakespearean role before, said it was a daunting experience at first. "We were lucky enough to film a bit up here and I was here in 2006 doing a play at the Fringe Festival so I love being back. Marion Cotillard, who plays Lady Macbeth, was not on the red carpet but David Thewlis, who takes on the role of King Duncan, and Paddy Considine, playing Banquo, were in attendance.įassbender said: "It is great being in Edinburgh, it's exciting to have the premiere here in Scotland. He stopped to talk to fans, sign autographs and pose for selfies as he made his way to the screening at the Scottish capital's Festival Theatre. The Hollywood A-lister plays the title role in the new film adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy which is out in cinemas next week. But when voters hear McDormand’s delivery of “Out, damned spot,” they’ll probably do whatever she wants.MICHAEL Fassbender has led the cast of Macbeth on the red carpet as it received its UK premiere in Edinburgh. A source close to the studio has shared that the decision for supporting is very unlikely and she’ll end up competing for lead actress once again. I’ve heard murmurs that the studio is considering her for a supporting run this time, even though the part of Lady Macbeth has always been thought of as a lead role. She could take two awards for “Macbeth” as well. But we can pray.įrances McDormand, who stars as Lady Macbeth, made history last year as the first woman to be nominated for producing and acting in the same year for “Nomadland,” winning her third and fourth Oscars respectively. It’ll likely be one of those that people like myself will bang the drum for, but most likely will come up short. In a one-scene wonder, recent Emmy nominee Moses Ingram (Netflix’s “The Queen’s Gambit”) declares to Hollywood that she is not going anywhere, and every producer should be lining up to hand her roles. She could become a critical darling this season (NYFCC future winner perhaps?), which could lead to some traction in supporting actress. With only 10 movie credits over the last 30 years, Kathryn Hunter’s Witch (and Old Man) is inventively complex and beautifully orchestrated through contortions and soul-piercing dialogue offering. If Washington is a true contender for his third Oscar, someone like Hawkins could come along for the ride. Corey Hawkins’ Macduff is passionately entrenched within his limited scenes, and he has vengeful words flowing through his veins throughout. The supporting players are the brightest spot of the film, which aren’t typical with “Macbeth” adaptations. Consumer audiences may not be flocking to the cinemas on Christmas Day, but the film doesn’t need that type of narrative to translate to voters.ĭenzel Washington as Macbeth will be a formidable challenger to Will Smith’s Richard Williams in the crowd-pleaser “King Richard.” This marks a possible Oscar rematch, 20 years after Washington’s performance in “Training Day” claimed victory over Smith’s turn in “Ali.” It should also be noted that there are many leading men already in the mix with Benedict Cumberbatch (“The Power of the Dog”), Clifton Collins, Jr (“Jockey”), Peter Dinklage (“Cyrano”), Joaquin Phoenix (“C’mon C’mon”) and Simon Rex (“Red Rocket”) already making noise – with other possibilities waiting in the wings (Javier Bardem, Bradley Cooper, Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam Driver, Andrew Garfield and Cooper Hoffman). Set as a black-and-white period piece, “The Tragedy of Macbeth” from A24 and Apple Original Films, can easily find love in artisan categories such as production design (Stefan Dechant and set decoration by Nancy Haigh), cinematography (Bruno Delbonnel), sound (to be determined) and original score (Carter Burwell).
