Marion Cotillard in Tough `Macbeth

Marion Cotillard Talks Macbeth

I am eagerly awaiting this Marion Cotillard-Michael Fassbender `Macbeth, now in post-production and set for release in 2015.  Cotillard is still an underrated talent and beauty, even though she won the Academy Award for Best Actress in `La Vie en Rose and even as Hollywood has cast her in blockbuster films: `Inception, `Contagion, and `The Dark Knight Rises.

It was very nice of her to give us a take on her experience of the filming:

The new Macbeth movie edges closer and Marion Cotillard, playing the fearsome Lady Macbeth, has spoken for the first time about how filming is progressing. 

Speaking to BBC America, she said that she was finding the experience, “Tough, very tough”. 

She continued, “The reputation [that] these characters and this play [have] is that it’s really, really hard - really complex - and it’s the right reputation, because it is, but the director Justin Kurzel [is] really, really an amazing director..and it’s his second movie and I guess he’s going to be around for a while.” 

She also described working with co-star Michael Fassbender saying that, “He surprised me, which is something [very] special on a set. Sometimes I didn’t know what he would do and I was surprised many times.”
