Pete Travis is Set to ‘Come Like Shadows’

Date:

Originally set up with John Maybury in the driver’s seat and with Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton in the lead roles, Come Like Shadows has resurfaced with Pete Travis (helmer of recent thrillers Vantage Point and Endgame) set to direct the pic.

Scripted by Vincent Regan, Jennifer Lee Carrell and Nick Saunders, this is an adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”, but it is designed to be user-friendly to a contemporary audience. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Smuggler Films’ Patrick Milling Smith and John Hart will produce along with writer Saunders. Smuggler produced films such as Boys Don’t Cry and You Can Count on Me as Hart-Sharp Entertainment.

Who would you cast as MacBeth and Lady Macbeth?
