My first venture into a feature film. Not just any film. This is a film with Sean Bean, Rupert Grint, Charles Dance, Neil Maskell, James d'Arcy and Jason Flemyng (et al). Auditions are still on for Lady McBeth My investment in this Kickstarter project will earn me the following "FUNDING PRODUCER" - You are a funding producer! You will have your name appear in the film credits as well as on IMDB. |
However the premise is more on the action than the dialogue. As the dialogue and narrative of Shakespeare's MacBeth is pretty graphical, this translates very well into a feature lenght film. Less talk, more visual action.
"The Enemy of Man will have a unique cinematic quality, stripping back the dialogue and cranking up the action. It traverses a bleak, frozen landscape of shattered castles and pillaged towns, rendering the interior world that clouds Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s addled minds, as they sink deeper into their heart of darkness. A timeless masterpiece of war, ambition, betrayal, murder and ultimately, revenge."
This will be the feature directorial debut of actor Vincent Regan. Vincent is no stranger to Shakespeare. Although known for such films as The Messenger, 300, and Troy, he is a veteran of the Royal Shakespeare and National theaters and has directed and acted in Macbeth on the London stage.
