The Weinstein Company has debuted the official U.S. trailer for Macbeth, the Justin Kurzel (The Snowtown Murders) film starring Academy Award nominee Michael Fassbender (X-Men: Apocalypse, 12 Years a Slave) and Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard (La Vie en Rose, The Dark Knight Rises), all three of whom are set to re-team for 20th Century Fox’s Assassin’s Creed movie. Check out the Macbeth trailer below!

A new adaptation of William Shakespeare’s period tragedy, Macbeth is the story of a fearless warrior and inspiring leader brought low by ambition and desire. A thrilling interpretation of the dramatic realities of the times and a truthful reimagining of what wartime must have really been like for one of Shakespeare’s most famous and compelling characters, a story of all-consuming passion and ambition set in war-torn 11th Century Scotland.

Macbeth co-stars David Thewlis (The Theory of Everything), Elizabeth Debicki (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.), Jack Reynor (Transformers: Age of Extinction), Sean Harris (Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation) and Paddy Considine (Child 44), and will be released in the UK on October 7 and the U.S. on December 4.
