Macbeth the movie
Fox News Report
A new Macbeth Movie is coming out during the summer of 2023. The movie is rumoured to star Lenord Nimoy as Macbeth and William Shatner as Banquo. We had the pleasure of interviewing the director of the movie, William Howden. He said that he chose his actors based on what he imagines each of the characters looks like and we here at fox news believe that he was a huge fan of the star trek franchise when he was young. He also said, "I believe that if a viewer has seen two actors on screen together before it enhances the experience of the movie." He sees this movie as a passion project as he looks up to Shakespeare as he wrote some of the greatest plays of all time.
In preparation for making the film, William decided to watch the play at multiple different theatres with multiple different casts. When we asked why he did this he responded with, "Well, I watched the play so many times because I wanted to see how the different actors interpreted how Shakespeare wanted the audience to feel. It also helped me figure out what I wanted my actors to do as there was so much good that I saw in all those plays." After he said this we all realized how dedicated and how much time he has given up to film this movie.
Gamespew Review
The new Macbeth Movie directed by and written by William Howden is one of the greatest interpretations of the classic play ever written for the big screen. This movie put's a modern twist on the age-old classic of Macbeth. The Movie is based in the city of New Jersey in an alternate reality where kings queens still rule the land. The Movie also adds an extra scene at the end where we get to see the repercussions of Macbeth's death. The Movie really displays how much better off the people in the city are after he is dead, It's almost like a reverse It's a Wonderful life.
​
The Movie really shows how the main characters mental health is in a constant decline throughout the storyline. The movie also has an interesting take on how Mabeth feels about Banqo before he has him killed. When Macbeth has Banqo killed in the movie we constantly see him regretting his decision, and we even get to see lady Macbeth being physically abusive towards Macbeth whenever he says something that she doesn't like.
​
The Movie is essentially a modernized version of the play, with a little bit of shakspearian style writing thrown in to make it more interesting.
Fox's Opinion on the Macbeth Movie
In our humble opinion The new Macbeth movie is the best renditon of the classic play ever brought onto the big screen. The way that Lenord Nimoy played Macbeth was simply incredible, the way that he portrayed Macbeths slow decend into insanity was on an entirely different level. The director gave a statement about Nimoys performance and could only say "I barely had to direct him. I thought that that's what Shakespeare would have done.". The movie has already raked in 50 million from theatres and 20 million form from amazon prime rentals. But our favourite part of the movie was at the end when we get to see an extra scene after Macbeth dies.
The movie is a roller coaster of emotions for the simple fact that it was originally written by Shakespeare. William Shakspeare was arguably the best playwrite of all time, he has written some of the greatest plays of all time. Shakspeares writing style is unlike anything that most people have ever seen. If you had ever seen the play Macbeth you will recognize all the characters and the story, you may even understand it better.
A Scene In The Directors Eyes
Banquo and I had just gotten back from meeting with King Duncan. I was in a very good mood, I was a war hero. The king praised me, The people loved me. Then we saw these women dressed in all black, they had long grey hair and pale skin. They were witches. They started walking over to me and the only thing that I could think to say was “Halt!” They stopped in their tracks.
“We would like to thank you for your service. Macbeth.” said one of the witches in an untrustworthy voice. One of the other witches said something that I wouldn’t soon forget. “Macbeth, you and Banquo will soon be king.”
At the time I didn’t even think it possible to be true but later on when I was eating dinner with my wife I started to think about how I could become a king. Was there anything I could do to speed it up, Should I tell Lady Macbeth. I bounced ideas around in my head for hours until I couldn’t take it anymore. So I told Lady Macbeth while we were watching the television, I told her what the witches said. “Are you sure they meant to say your name?” I replied with “yes they were looking me in the eye I could tell that they were not lying. I just can’t understand what would happen for Duncan to give up the thrown.” immediately after she said,
“Well, he could die.”
“Don’t even say a thing like that. Duncan is one of the greatest Kings that we have ever had.” after I said this I went to bed. When I was laying in bed I couldn’t help but think about what I would do if I were the king. But if Duncan died who would mentor me, Who would teach me how to be king. So I decided to go to sleep and go to the library and read books about the greatest kings first thing in the morning.
When I awoke Lady Macbeth was already reading in the living room. Before I could tell her I was going to the library She told me that we should kill Duncan so that we could become royalty. I of course refused and then went off to the library.
I was got to the library and was reading a book about some of the great kings when I realized if we did kill Duncan I could easily be a far better king than he could ever be. I’d be doing everyone a favour.
Analyzing what the Witches Represent
In the play Macbeth the witches are represented as the thing that pushes him to do bad things and to become a tragic and immoral character. They are the first to tell Macbeth that he will be the king, This was the first time that Macbeth and the witches interacted and really was when we realized that Macbeth's morality was going downhill. At this point in the story, his morality was going down for the simple reason that he knew that he could become king and that he could probably speed up the process. Just the fact that the witches told him this makes them characters one of the biggest reasons for his downfall.
​
Some people who have seen the play may think that Shakespeare wanted the witches to be almost representing the part of Macbeth that he didn't want to see. A reader may think this because, without the witches, Macbeth wouldn't have told lady Macbeth and they wouldn't have killed Duncan. The witches could have symbolized how easily people can turn corrupt, after all without them the whole mess would have been completely avoided.
