Denzel Washington, Frances McDormand to Star in Joel Coen’s ‘Macbeth’
Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand are taking on Shakespeare.

The Oscar winners are in talks to star in Joel Coen’s adaptation of “Macbeth.” Coen will direct from his own original script, and expects to shoot the movie before the end of the year. This marks his first film without frequent directing/writing/producing partner and brother Ethan.

A24 will distribute the pic, which Scott Rudin will produce.

The iconic Shakespeare tale follows a lord (Washington) who’s convinced by a trio of witches that he’s destined to become the king of Scotland. With the help of his ambitious wife (McDormand), Macbeth tries to seize the crown by any means necessary.

After taking a brief break, Washington has a busy schedule ahead of him for the foreseeable future. He will first shoot the Warner Bros. thriller “Little Things” in the fall, followed by “Macbeth” at the beginning of 2020. He will then pivot into his next directing job, “Journal for Jordan,” starring Michael B. Jordan.

O Ethan, Where Art Thou?

I hope he makes his own film and releases it the same day.

Not only is it strange a Coen doing Macbeth, it’s shocking Joel is going solo.

I've seen dozens of interviews of actors calling them a double-headed individual, never even thought they would go solo. I really hope Ethan works something by himself to make some comparisons
