A24 Film 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' With Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand Coming to Apple TV+

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced that it is teaming up with A24 for "The Tragedy of Macbeth," a drama that's set to star Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. "The Tragedy of Macbeth" is directed by Joel Coen, and is based on "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare.

It's the first film that's directed by just one Coen brother, and it will be in black and white. As a duo, the Coen brothers have produced hit movies like "The Big Lebowski," "No Country for Old Men," "Fargo," and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"

Apple has a partnership with A24 and has previously teamed up with the film studio for "On the Rocks" starring Bill Murray and Rashida Jones.

"The Tragedy of Macbeth" will be released in theaters later this year ahead of a launch on Apple TV+.

Kinda like that beetlejuice thing.....

There are very few movies with Denzel that I don't like, so I'm looking forward to finding out more about this. I haven't seen much with McDormand, but I know she's a great actress. This should be interesting.

 

[citysnaps]

Nice... Looking forward to watching it.

 

[Complex757]

This can't fail

but I was thinking that about Denzel, Rami Malek and Jared Leto

 

[TheDailyApple]

[…] and it will be in black and white.

But it will still be available in Apple TV+’s usual HDR/Dolby Vision, right?

[bhinton]

Not the first to be directed by only one Coen brother. The second.

 

[Thunderstrike76]

Lost me at black and white.

Have you ever seen 1980’s The Elephant Man which was nominated for multiple oscars? It was filmed in black and white and is one of my favorite movies. Check it out. Just out of curiosity how old are you?

 

[alexandr]

i love these 2. and with the coen brother this is almost guaranteed to be splendid!

Technically Schindler’s List was also B&W.

So many great black and white films. Raging Bull is another from the 80s that wad filmed in b&w by choice.

 

[Ar40]

2 phenomenal actors. Denzel is one of my all time faves, top 5 for sure. Looking forward! Apple keeps picking up movies I want to see - great stuff.

 

[iapplelove]

Always been a fan of Denzel, but I don’t even sup to Apple TV and never will

Black and white is going to be controversial. It is bold in this day and age. Audio and video are equally as important as storytelling, and from just a few post here you can see some will never watch it solely based on it being filmed in black and white. I couldn't imagine directing a movie and immediately losing out on people.

I am not in the camp that rule a movie out for that reason, but I know many people who feel like others here.

 

[testcard]

“…and is based on "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare.”
Oh, that Macbeth.

 

[Remy149]

But it will still be available in Apple TV+’s usual HDR/Dolby Vision, right?

Most likely the black and white version of Synder cut still had those features

 

[Apple_Robert]

I like Denzel. I will probably give this a look.

A Shakespeare movie with two leads in their 60s isn’t going to lose many over a thing like that. That guy up there bowing out already was never going to watch it anyway.
