Natalie Portman? Really? Sigh.

Natalie Portman and Michael Fassbender are attached to star in a big-screen adaptation of Shakespeare’s Macbeth,with Fassbender in the title role and Portman as Lady MacBeth.The script is billed as an updated version of Shakespeare’s tale of revenge and ambition, complete with the blood and thunder of the original tragedy.
Is this casting a Yay or Nay?

These are not our Father's words!: Kill Shakespeare's Defense of the Meta-Text | ImageTexT: Interdisciplinary Comics Studies →

Great scholarly article on Kill Shakespeare. Well worth a read. I’m currently waiting to find out if an article I’ve written (with my fantastic project partner and fellow Shakespeare fangirl, Helen) about Kill Shakespeare/Nicki Greenberg’s Hamlet has been accepted for publication. Fingers crossed!
