help Macbeth FAQ
Who plays Macbeth and Lady Macbeth in the 2015 film?
Michael Fassbender plays Macbeth and Marion Cotillard plays Lady Macbeth. Justin Kurzel directed the adaptation, reuniting with Fassbender and Cotillard for Assassin's Creed the following year.
Why does the film show Macbeth burying a child?
The opening funeral is an addition that suggests the Macbeths recently lost a child. It gives their grief and Lady Macbeth's later remarks about motherhood a concrete emotional context not staged this way in Shakespeare's play.
Where was the 2015 Macbeth filmed?
The production used Scottish landscapes, including locations on the Isle of Skye. Its fog, mud, open battlefields, and red-lit finale give the tragedy a harsher military atmosphere than many studio-bound adaptations.
Does Macbeth keep Shakespeare's original language?
Yes, the dialogue largely uses Shakespeare's text, although the screenplay cuts and rearranges material. The film also turns some speeches into intimate or internal moments instead of conventional stage soliloquies.
