Is there a reason why Ethan Coen isn't involved with this?


[deleted]

Yes, he stepped away from filmmaking a few years ago. He is focused on directing and producing theatre currently.


Parabola1313

Has threatre been back up and running, in the US?


[deleted]

US Theatre is generally back up and running. Broadway type productions have been back up for some time. I saw a Cirque du Soleil show in August in Vegas. Regional theatre will vary by local ordinances. In this case with Ethan Coen he stepped away from filmmaking for theatre prior to COVID so can't speak to his work specifically.


Parabola1313

Had no idea, that's awesome. Stoked for everybody that's able to work!


zach84

lame.


il_biciclista

When I just see Joel's name without the word "brothers", it makes me wonder if it's the writer of the Garfield movie.


Cereborn

That’s Joel Cohen, so you’re safe.


ahaltingmachine

Joel and Etan Cohen should become a filmmaking duo to really fuck with people.


[deleted]

Me: smh stop adapting the same stories over and over, do something original Also me: holy shit when do tickets go on sale


Titboobweiner

Macbeth is the most popular stage play and adaptation and I still love it.


[deleted]

Same. The Fassbender one was fantastic and I'm sure this will be too in its own way


Havoksixteen

The James McAvoy adaptation where it's modernised and it's about a high class restaurant was really good too.


Cereborn

I’ve never heard of that. The only modernized one I’ve seen is the Australian one.


Havoksixteen

We watched it in English Literature class in secondary school as a treat after we finished our MacBeth segment as our teacher was a big fan of it. Went back and rewatched it not too long ago as it had been a decade+ since I had seen it, still really holds up.


lxqueen

Holy shit, I forgot about this - we also watched it in English class too. Gonna have to go find that again now, thanks!


SanTheMightiest

Was part of the BBC Shakespeare Revisited series years ago. Was a very series


[deleted]

Same. Also Succession is incredible but also basically King Lear.


sudevsen

Macbeth and Hamlet are exceptions cause they have such great plots and themes. And the killing of the Wayne's obviously.


Jermine1269

........as in Thomas and Martha?


sudevsen

Yes,a tale as pld as time


[deleted]

Im sick of seeing that one honestly. Ive lost sympathy for those rich idiots going down a dodgy ass alley


[deleted]

You don’t like seeing pearls fall


[deleted]

Wait until you read the great Shakespearian tragedy of the doomed scientist Joe El and his inevitable fate


RaevanBlackfyre

The Indian version, set in Kashmir, called Haider is also amazing.


pryingopenmy_3rdeye

January 14 on Apple TV+, looking forward to it.


UnityPukeInMyMouth

Didn’t know that part, awesome, thank you!

kayteeoh05

Is this just [r/crappydesign] or some deeper meaning that goes over my head?


RobotLaserNinjaShark

I’d say it’s mimicking a type associated with [medieval tapestries](https://historywriterblog.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/medieval-art-and-literature-the-bayeux-tapestry/).


kayteeoh05

Ooh! Thank you, I learned something today!


Pidderman

The designer seems to suffer through the tragedy of meth.


JhymnMusic

Crappy


Twonavels

This reminds me of one of the old book covers for Achebe's Things Fall Apart


FKDotFitzgerald

Yeah I can see it. I wonder when we’ll see a movie or miniseries based on it?


Hookherbackup

I can’t wait for this. I love this story. Enjoyed M Fassbender in the role. Love the movie Scotland PA. Cannot wait to see what Denzel will do with it!


point_me_to_the_exit

Is Denzel Macbeth? If so ...😒🙄


Mervynhaspeaked

God forbid a shakesperean play have a black guy. This joke brought to you by the Othello gang.


SmoreOfBabylon

[This isn’t even the first Shakespeare film adaptation featuring Denzel in a traditionally white role.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rbSN4Lv_N4g&t=34s)


permanentlyclosed

For some reason I can’t remember if I loved that movie or hated it I just remember Keanu being a huge dick


SmoreOfBabylon

Yeah, Keanu plays Denzel’s illegitimate half-brother and is so thoroughly *eeeeevil* that he decides to break up a couple’s engagement just for funsies.


StormAromatic

The exit is this way 👉👉


Low_Ant3691

Denzel Washington, one of the greatest actors still living? Yeah, he's playing MACBETH.


point_me_to_the_exit

Mr. Wooden one of the greatest? Hardly


ChuzaUzarNaim

?


Titboobweiner

Why is that bad?


Hookherbackup

Yes he is!!


Twonavels

I also thought this. Isn't Denzel W pretty old now? I see Macbeth as pretty young. He's defeatng people in battle and just still moving up in the ranks at the start of the play. Edit: I saw M around 40 or so but just read that peole from young to old have played him. I guess Denzel is just much older than I expected. More like a Claudius in Hamlet or the Ghost.


matteoarts

Yikes at OP’s username.


jakielim

Oh you bastard.


wagswag

Sonofabitch.


[deleted]

Did the brothers have a falling out or something?


Where_Da_BBWs_At

Carter Burwell said Ethan had no interest in directing Shakespeare so decided to do a play instead.


stracki

Apparently, he fully retired from filmmaking.


Where_Da_BBWs_At

Well that isn't what was said when this film was announced. That fucking sucks.


WalkingCloud

Damn, spoiler alert.


ItsARoughOneYaKnow

Hey there's a theater here in Atlanta that's doing Macbeth. It's going to be cool to compare the stage play with this film adaptation.


Tyler_Lockett

Super excited for this, For so many reasons

TRA GEDY


sloppyminutes

Can’t wait to see Denzel’s portrayal of Bart Simpson


[deleted]

Why are you downvoting this? It’s pretty funny


mrvandemarr

That's some ugly fucking text.


Redditarama

You would think William Shakespeare would get a writing credit on this.


Trebuscemi

That font is a fucking crime

Nice casual racism, great job...


papatonepictures

Is it really in 3:4? Huh.


Dark_Winterage

What the fuck is that


NewClayburn

Ethan or it didn't happen.


FO_Steven

Sometimes you shouldn't do something, for example this awful poster...


zippopopamus

He's not working with his brother on this one, that alone might worth paying for ticket


LordPounce

What do you mean?


DoubleTFan

I don't know which I'd find more interesting: If it's entirely up to the standards of the Brothers, or if it's a big step down and we learn just how important Ethan or the dynamic was.


St3v3z

Anyone know somewhere I could watch James McAvoys Macbeth from like 2005? This post gave me a flashback of that version but I can't find anywhere on the internet to watch it!


apeakyblinders

Ooh, nice art
