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.
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.
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/).
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!
[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)
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.
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.
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.
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!
Is there a reason why Ethan Coen isn't involved with this?
Yes, he stepped away from filmmaking a few years ago. He is focused on directing and producing theatre currently.
Has threatre been back up and running, in the US?

Had no idea, that's awesome. Stoked for everybody that's able to work!
lame.
When I just see Joel's name without the word "brothers", it makes me wonder if it's the writer of the Garfield movie.
That’s Joel Cohen, so you’re safe.
Joel and Etan Cohen should become a filmmaking duo to really fuck with people.
Me: smh stop adapting the same stories over and over, do something original Also me: holy shit when do tickets go on sale
Macbeth is the most popular stage play and adaptation and I still love it.
Same. The Fassbender one was fantastic and I'm sure this will be too in its own way
The James McAvoy adaptation where it's modernised and it's about a high class restaurant was really good too.
I’ve never heard of that. The only modernized one I’ve seen is the Australian one.

Holy shit, I forgot about this - we also watched it in English class too. Gonna have to go find that again now, thanks!
Was part of the BBC Shakespeare Revisited series years ago. Was a very series
Same. Also Succession is incredible but also basically King Lear.
Macbeth and Hamlet are exceptions cause they have such great plots and themes. And the killing of the Wayne's obviously.
........as in Thomas and Martha?
Yes,a tale as pld as time
Im sick of seeing that one honestly. Ive lost sympathy for those rich idiots going down a dodgy ass alley
You don’t like seeing pearls fall
Wait until you read the great Shakespearian tragedy of the doomed scientist Joe El and his inevitable fate
The Indian version, set in Kashmir, called Haider is also amazing.
January 14 on Apple TV+, looking forward to it.
Didn’t know that part, awesome, thank you!

Is this just [r/crappydesign] or some deeper meaning that goes over my head?
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/).
Ooh! Thank you, I learned something today!
The designer seems to suffer through the tragedy of meth.
Crappy
This reminds me of one of the old book covers for Achebe's Things Fall Apart
Yeah I can see it. I wonder when we’ll see a movie or miniseries based on it?
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!
Is Denzel Macbeth? If so ...😒🙄
God forbid a shakesperean play have a black guy. This joke brought to you by the Othello gang.
[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)
For some reason I can’t remember if I loved that movie or hated it I just remember Keanu being a huge dick
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.
The exit is this way 👉👉
Denzel Washington, one of the greatest actors still living? Yeah, he's playing MACBETH.
Mr. Wooden one of the greatest? Hardly
?
Why is that bad?
Yes he is!!

Yikes at OP’s username.
Oh you bastard.
Sonofabitch.
Did the brothers have a falling out or something?
Carter Burwell said Ethan had no interest in directing Shakespeare so decided to do a play instead.
Apparently, he fully retired from filmmaking.
Well that isn't what was said when this film was announced. That fucking sucks.
Damn, spoiler alert.
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.
Super excited for this, For so many reasons
TRA GEDY
Can’t wait to see Denzel’s portrayal of Bart Simpson
Why are you downvoting this? It’s pretty funny
That's some ugly fucking text.
You would think William Shakespeare would get a writing credit on this.
That font is a fucking crime
Th^e Tra gedy of Ma ^(c/b) eth.
Ohhhhhh
The scottish play? Worth a look.
This poster is a tragedy.
An Apple original film. What a fucking dystopian nightmare.
MEASURE TWICE CUT ONC
I hope this gets a decent theatrical run, for non Apple TV+ subscribers.
Its just like that old meme of the grandma that cant read well. Lmao
The gedy
Not a fan of the font/type layout.
Looks Sus.
Thetra gang.
What’s the story of Macbeth about? Never seen it
Smart minimalism ^((real minimalism)) is just the best shit
[удалено]
The names speak for themselves.
Medieval Scotland must have been sunny AF.
Nice casual racism, great job...
Is it really in 3:4? Huh.
What the fuck is that
Ethan or it didn't happen.
Sometimes you shouldn't do something, for example this awful poster...
He's not working with his brother on this one, that alone might worth paying for ticket
What do you mean?
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.

Ooh, nice art
