Trouble in Paradise: New Trailer for Angelina Jolie’s By the Sea

Talk about a massive shift from one film to the next—Angelina Jolie's third feature as a director, the experimental By the Sea, follows her adaptation of Lauren Hillenbrand's nonfiction bestseller Unbroken. From the WWII set Unbroken, which followed the incredible true story of Olympian, soldier and eventual POW Louis Zamperini, Jolie's tackled a dark, emotionally volatile story about the dissolution of a marriage between two people who happen to be exceedingly good looking and married in real life.

Justin Kurzel’s Macbeth is the Most Heartfelt Horror Film Ever Made

The story of Macbeth is certainly no stranger to adaptation. In fact, the Scottish play belongs to an impressive tradition of auteurist variation, including Orson Welles’ notoriously troubled 1948 production, Roman Polanski’s 1971 film and Kurosawa’s well-loved  in 1957.

Any Shakespearean adaptation carries with it piles of textual and philosophical baggage, requiring not only a new spin on a well-worn story but a justification for a new iteration.
