Overview
A new film adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth has been made by The Knife That Killed Me director Kit Monkman. It was all shot on green screen. With Mark Rowley, this is a movie that was made (The Last Kingdom, Luther). Monkman came up with a unique way to make the play into a movie, and he did a good job of making it work. If you want to see a new way to tell a story, this one is for you. The audience's involvement with the story takes center stage in this new version, which makes the theatrical setting even more powerful while still keeping the language and themes of Shakespeare's original play in tact. To make the world in which the action happens, background matte painting and computer modeling are used to make it. The green screen lets Monkman make his vision of a multi-tiered globe in which the characters play out their different fates.
