Coen Brothers Movie Themes Analysed [PART II]
NEWS 🚨
Filmmaker Joel Coen''s upcoming take on William Shakespeare''s classic Macbeth is titled The Tragedy of Macbeth.
The director, who has made some of the most critically-acclaimed films such as Fargo, The Big Lebowski and No Country For Old Men with his brother Ethan Coen, is going solo for the new project.
The film will feature his wife, actor Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington in the lead.
McDormand said the new adaptation will be different from the previous iterations of the famous play.
" I think a very important thing about Joel’s adaptation is that we are not calling it Macbeth. We’re calling it The Tragedy of Macbeth, which I think is an important distinction. In Joel’s adaptation, we are exploring the age of the characters and our adaptation the Macbeths are older. Both Denzel and I are older than what is often cast as the Macbeths. We’re postmenopausal, we’re past childbearing age. So that puts a pressure on their ambition to have the crown. I think the most important distinction is that it is their last chance for glory," the Oscar-winning actress said.
Its been described as a thriller, shot fully in black and white, financed and produced by a24.
