First Look at Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard In Macbeth
Hot off the presses of Empire come three new pics of Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard in the highly anticipated new adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth, directed by Justin Kurzel (Snowtown) and with costumes by Oscar winner Jacqueline Durran (Anna Karenina). The film will be debuting at Cannes in just a matter of weeks with Cotillard very much in the running for the Best Actress award there and we anxiously await word on the film leading up to its premiere.
Take a look.
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
