Enemy of Man, a theatrical retelling of Shakespeare's Macbeth, has been funded full through its Kickstarter
page, meaning that the film starring Rupert Grint and
Harry Potter fellow alum Dave Legeno will begin production this coming August. A few images of Rupert filming the trailer and short feature for Enemy of Man, called
Instruments of Darkness, can be viewed here, which he plays the character Rosse. No release date has been set yet.
Quote:
Enemy of Man is an ambitious feature length retelling of William Shakespeare's greatest tragedy, Macbeth.
This will be the feature directorial debut of actor Vincent Regan. Vincent is no stranger to Shakespeare. Although known for such films as The Messenger, 300, and Troy, he is a veteran of the Royal Shakespeare and National theaters and has directed and acted in Macbeth on the London stage.
The Enemy of Man will have a unique cinematic quality, stripping back the dialogue and cranking up the action. It traverses a bleak, frozen landscape of shattered castles and pillaged towns, rendering the interior world that clouds Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s addled minds, as they sink deeper into their heart of darkness. A timeless masterpiece of war, ambition, betrayal, murder and ultimately, revenge.
