GAH! I still can’t get over all of the hotness in these photos from Cannes. All of the photos in this post are from the Cannes photocall for Macbeth several weeks ago. Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard posed affectionately throughout. He looked hungover and gingery and she looked pristine and lovely. Together they would make French-speaking ginger babies. Was it ever on? Let me believe that it was on at some point. You might want to believe it too, especially after you watch this really, really good first trailer for Macbeth:

The single tear rolling down his cheek when she tells him “what’s done is done”? Yeah. I’m going to have to see this. I thought that the makeup and costume work would detract from the story, but seeing this… no, the aesthetics make it better. I’m loving the guyliner on Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s blue eyeshadow and her hair are all working for me.

There’s been some discussion about Fassy maybe getting another Oscar nomination this year and whether he would deign to actually campaign and openly “want” it. I don’t know. I think if he was playful, engaged and “open” like he was during his failed Oscar campaign for Shame, he could have a good shot at another nomination for Macbeth or maybe for Jobs, which also comes out during the traditional fall-winter awards season. Here’s why I think Fassy will play the game a bit more this year: his girlfriend, Alicia Vikander.
