Amazon Studios has picked up an untitled musical feature project which boasts Scooter Braun and Channing Tatum as producers.
The feature will center on the character of Lady Macbeth, the wife of the titular lead in Shakespeare’s play “Macbeth” and one of the Bard’s most famous character creations – a calculating woman who prods her Scottish general husband into murder and war before slipping into insanity.
In this young adult-centric version, the story centers on a teenage girl who grapples with her own morality as she contends with the dreadful consequences of her ambition.
John McPhail (“Anna and the Apocalypse”) will direct from a script by S.J. Inwards. Scott Manson and James Shin will also produce.
