Scotland, PA is a 2001 American black comedy crime film written and directed by Billy Morrissette as a modernized retelling of Macbeth.
Three stoned hippies, one a fortune teller, inform Mac that they see a bank drive-thru style restaurant in his future as management.
Mac grows withdrawn and paranoid and on a hunting trip contemplates killing off Banko, but a vision of the three hippies dressed as deer distracts him.
Mac calls on an hallucination of Banko to ask a question at the press conference and loses his sanity as the town watches on TV.
[8] The press kit for the movie was printed in the form of a CliffsNotes booklet,[10] written by Professor David Linton of Marymount Manhattan College,[11] which is what Morrissette was reading when he was studying Shakespeare.
[13] The New York Observer called it "a trailer-trash version of Macbeth that should be avoided like an Elizabethan pox" and "grubby low-budget sendup of 70s pop culture".
[14] Movieguide called it "a hilarious, modern re-telling of William Shakespeare's great tragic play" and a "morality tale".
It starred Ryan McCartan, Taylor Iman Jones, Megan Lawrence, Jay Armstrong Johnson, Jeb Brown, Lacretta, Will Meyers, Alysha Umphress, Kaleb Wells, and David Rossmer.
