Lady Macbeth: Madonna We chose Madonna because she is a very influential person and gets what she wants no matter what it takes. She is also very manipulative and deceiving just like Lady Macbeth. She overpowers Macbeth and forces him to kill King Duncan. Banquo: Sean Astin We chose Sean to play Banquo because just like Banquo, he isn't the main character but is very important for the story plot. Sean Astin played in Lord of the Rings and was also not the main character, but he was by the main character's side. In Macbeth, Banquo fights with Macbeth and is important in the story plot.

Malcom: Joey Lawrence We chose Joey Lawrence because he can play a good role for being the king's son. He doesn't have a big role in Macbeth because in the play they run off. Donalbain: Matt Lawrence We chose Matt because he is the brother of Joey in real life. In the play Donalbain and Malcom are brothers.

He also doesn't have a big role. King Duncan: Bernard Hill We chose Bernard Hill because he has the profile of a king. He played as a king in Lord of the Rings.

The Staging We want the film to be in modern times. The film will be produced in Washington D.C. We want to modernize it by using the government we use today. It will start off showing the U.S. fighting against Iraq. Then, certain scenes will be filmed in the White House. The vice president sees three different psychics, which all tell him that he is going to be the president of the U.S. as well as some other important information. He and his wife will kill the president so that he will become the president.

The vice president also kills a congressman because the congressman suspects the vice president of killing the president. He will hallucinate at a press conference seeing the congressman he killed. It will still portray the basic plot, but a few changes will be to use modern language and modern costume. It still has the same theme from Macbeth. We chose to do the setting like this so that more people can understand Macbeth. We will use extensive digital enhancement to make the film more realistic and modern.
