Macbeth (2006)




The ultra violent modernized version of Shakespeare's ultra violent "Scottish play" is set in (and was actually shot in) Melbourne; home of the Australian Open.  It turns the respective family warring factions into organized crime factions.  It works!!  Stars Sam Worthington, who though he was actually born in England, grew up in Australia from the time he was six months old, as Macbeth and Australia's own Victoria Hill as Lady Macbeth, supported by an all Australian cast, some of whom are actually from Melbourne.  Additionally, it was directed by Melbourne's own Geoffrey Wright.
