A truly bizarre - sound “ futurist ” adaptation of Macbeth is pose in post - production , as the filmmakers wait forAnthony Stewart Head , who run Duncan , to return for reshoots .
During a group discussion call promoting his new serial publication Merlin , the shot schedule for which is preventing him from doing any more work on Macbeth , Head seemed slimly passive - aggressive as he explained where the projection stands :
“ That last I find out of it , somebody called me who was editing it and said , ‘ We ’ve got a few issues with various thing that might ask re - shot . And I intend , ‘ Well , you kind of had me when you had me . I ’m shoot in France . I ca n’t really do it . ’ So I do n’t know what ’s move on with that , but there were just a few issues of things differing from one scene to another . What I escort and what I was in was great , and I sincerely yours hope it will get some sort of release . ”
The movie itself sound gloriously uncanny . This exceptional Macbeth apparently pop as an unpaid film labor before they managed to snag Anthony Stewart Head to play Duncan , and it imply gang warfare in a futurist setting . The movie will keep on the original Shakespearean talks , but manifestly the radically different setting has caused some changes , as one might fairly expect .
Director Nicholas Paton , who adapted the play with Fergus March ( who also play the title of respect role ) , provided a tantalizing description of Head ’s part right smart back in 2006 :
“ Tony plays Duncan as a spitting , cigar - chomping deplorable leader , with a soft Glaswegian accent that can turn over in an New York minute from warm and affectionate to fatally sinister . As Duncan he plays a pivotal theatrical role in the film – he is both Macbeth ’s boss and paternal figure , whom Macbeth is drive to murder by his own uncontrollable ambition . The slaying of Duncan meditate the loss of the last of the old - school gangsters as a new generation ascension to magnate , a generation without the same moral sensibilities and rules of conduct as Duncan ’s – much as Brando ’s Don Corleone is expel by a immature more reckless coevals in The Godfather . ”
Head ’s verbal description of how he visualize the role , on the other bridge player , is completely befuddling and only makes me want to see this movie all the more : “ Basically I playact Duncan as a used - car salesman . ” I have absolutely no idea how a compounding of Macbeth , gangs , and the hereafter could lead Anthony Stewart Head to see the King of Scotland as a used car salesman , but consider me officially intrigued .
