The latest version of the classic play – filled with plenty of blood and gore – will keep Shakespeare’s language and takes place in the 11th-century.
This marks the pair’s second collaboration, as they just wrapped production on Terrence Malick’s latest untitled film (which also stars Ryan Gosling, Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale and Rooney Mara) about the music scene in Austin, Texas.
