Macbeth

Hey, I've gotta make a film rendition of Macbeth for school. This presents me with some mighty decisions: should it be set in Medieval Scotland like the play suggests or in modern day? Do we use the original text like in the Romeo + Juliet or modify it for modern day? If it be modern day, maybe we should have it take place in a Mafia family.

Suggestions and ideas are most welcome, I'm thinking of shooting it over thanksgiving break. So if anyone wants to be in it, that'd be cool.

Who's to play Lady Macbeth? ...Miiiike? It would be keeping up with Shakespearian tradition... After H.Of.T.T. I sort of cringe at the thought of another "period piece". Maybe it could take place at a wedding?
