Kickstarter is becoming an increasingly popular way to raise funds for movies, but it’s still comparatively rare for films with well-known names to head to Kickstarter to make money. However Enemy Of Man – which has Sean Bean, Charles Dance, Rupert Grint, Jason Flemyng, James D’Arcy and Neil Maskell attached to star – is doing just that.
Actor Vincent Regan is set to write and direct the movie, which is inspired by Shakespeare’s Macbeth. In the film, ‘As civil war comes to an end, the Scottish King Duncan’s generals, Macbeth and Banquo, meet three mysterious Sisters who prophesy that Macbeth will, one day, become King of Scotland. His ambition whetted, Macbeth is no longer satisfied to remain loyal to his sovereign; the seeds of deadly conspiracy are sown. Fate plays its part as the King decides to pay a visit to Macbeth’s castle, in tribute to his general’s wartime valour. Macbeth takes his wife, Lady Macbeth, into his confidence regarding the Sisters’ prophecy; together they hatch a plot to kill Duncan and implicate his servants in the murder. Events soon unravel and Macbeth and Lady Macbeth sink deeper into the morass of lies, conspiracy, murder and guilt that accompanies their illicit rise to power and, inevitably, their fall into darkness.’
As well as launching a Kickstarter campaign, a concept trailer has been released, which you can take a look at below.
