'Macbeth' Movie Trailer [WATCH VIDEO] Michael Fassbender Quotes Shakespeare w/ Marion Cotillard

William Shakespeare is arguably history's most iconic writer, and is also considered the best. His tragedy, Macbeth is considered one of his most interesting pieces of work, with darker elements that make Hamlet look like a soap opera. In 2015, we'll get a new version of this story thanks to visionary director Justin Kurzel (The Snowtown Murders) in a mesmerizing film adaptation starring Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard as Lord and Lady Macbeth. This week we were treated to one of the best teaser trailers of the year, getting us incredibly excited for the film's release date (which hasn't been announced for the United States yet.)
