His next Shakespeare film adaptation


What do you think he should do next? I mean direct - but not necessarily act in.

I'm sure at some point he'll do King Lear - but he's too young at the moment, to play him. I really would like to see him both direct and act in a version. I sort of see it as an epic - much like his Hamlet - and it would be great to see it in 70 mm on a big screen.

Anyway, your suggestions?

Well apparently he wants to do an adaptation of "MacBeth" with Martin Scorsese, but more like Scorsese filming his theatrical adaptation of the play.

Hmmm - he might have to leave that one, as Fassbender's version is shortly to be released. He might have to wait a few years.

He's also going to be busy directing Artemis Fowl and also directing a remake of Murder on the Orient Express, with himself as Hercule Poirot. And if his new cast is as star studded as the first one was, we might really have something here.
