Branagh in new version of Macbeth

The production marks the actor's return to Shakespeare after more than a decade.
Sir Kenneth, who was knighted this month, has been seen on screen recently as troubled Swedish cop Wallander.
He previously directed and starred in an Oscar-nominated version of Henry V.
