A Kickstarter page has been created for a project Rupert Grint is attached to, entitled Enemy of Man. It is a retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth and in order to be produced they need to raise $250,000. The film also stars Sean Bean(of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones fame) and Charles Dance (also from Game of Thrones.) The stars of the film came together to create an 8 minute proof of concept short film to help raise money to fully produce the film. The Kickstarter page states:

Our cast and crew that made this proof of concept a reality, helped bring it to life out of their love and dedication for the project and were not offered any financial incentive. They believed in the idea and the potential of what the project had to offer and we hope you do too.

There are various rewards given for each donation amount. Starting at $10 you get to see the 8 minute short, and if you go as high as $10,000 you will be a co-producer. Additionally, everyone pledging $15 or more will receive a digital copy of the film when (and if) it is released.

A description of the film is as follows

Enemy of Man is an ambitious feature length retelling of William Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy, Macbeth.

This will be the feature directorial debut of actor Vincent Regan. Vincent is no stranger to Shakespeare. Although known for such films as The Messenger, 300, and Troy, he is a veteran of the Royal Shakespeare and National theaters and has directed and acted in Macbeth on the London stage.

The Enemy of Man will have a unique cinematic quality, stripping back the dialogue and cranking up the action. It traverses a bleak, frozen landscape of shattered castles and pillaged towns, rendering the interior world that clouds Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s addled minds, as they sink deeper into their heart of darkness. A timeless masterpiece of war, ambition, betrayal, murder and ultimately, revenge.

A teaser trailer for the film has been released by the film’s Twitter:

The Kickstarter page includes an informational video which features a quick interview with Rupert and other crew members:
