Nothing yet confirmed but I found this info which indicates to me the possibility Rupert has just signed on this film. Possibly his reason for being in LA. Enemy of Man : Full Credits : Cast Rupert Grint Rosse Sam Spruell Seyton Charlotte Gainsbourg Lady Macbeth Stephen Graham Macduff James D'Arcy Banquo Source: m.imdb.com/title/tt0338258/fullcredits/cast |

Found some old info about this movie. Interesting but it seemed to be in development hell for years. Hopefully, this time it will work, they seem to have more actors attached then in the beginning. The original title of the film was "Come like Shadows" written by actor Vincent Regan and someone else was directing at the time and Sean Bean and Tilda Swinton showing interest. That was back in 2003, obviously that didn't happen and it looks it's back on again with Regan directing. It happens. Mindful, this quote was posted back in 2003. Vincent Regan, a Welsh actor with a passion for Shakespeare, wrote his script in the late 1990s and linked up with Besson when he appeared in a minor role in his film of Joan of Arc.
It got a new lease of life in 2003 when Regan appeared in the epic Troy and met both Saunders and Bean. The latter had recently played Macbeth on the West End stage and was keen to reprise the role on screen.
Saunders signed up as producer at the end of last year and approached director Maybury, whose initial reaction was "one of absolute terror" because of the distinguished previous versions.
For the role of Lady Macbeth he thought of Swinton, with whom he had worked on several films. He phoned her and she confirmed that she would be interested.
Swinton's agent Christian Hodell said the actress loved Shakespeare and she was attracted by the challenge of the role, the chance to work with Maybury again and to work close to home in Scotland.
Maybury, who with Saunders will begin casting supporting roles this week, admitted he would be taking "liberties" with the text to emphasise the supernatural elements.
"It's not going to be specifically targeted to Shakespearean aficionados," he said. "In fact I'm sure there will be a lot of them who will oppose what I'm trying to do." |

I do hope this is true. Im a big fan of Macbeth and of Shakespeare in general but I cant seem to remember what part Rosse plays in the book and in the play.
