’s new adaptation of the classic play by William Shakespeare premiering at the New York Film Festival in September.as Lord Macbeth and Frances McDormand as Lady Macbeth. As in the source material, the film will follow the couple’s murderous ploys for power over Scotland and their resulting descent into madness.
The ominous trailer shows disjointed clips of large black birds circling the sky, Macbeth trudging through the desert, a hand lifting a crown from the ground and Lady Macbeth fearfully looking over her shoulder. The only dialogue is a witch’s voice, speaking one of the most iconic lines from the play: “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.”
Joining Washington and McDormand in the cast are Corey Hawkins as Macduff, Moses Ingram as Lady Macduff, Brendan Gleeson as King Duncan, Harry Melling as Malcolm and Ralph Ineson as the captain, among others. “The Tragedy of Macbeth” is Coen’s solo directorial debut, marking the first time either he or his brother Ethan have helmed a project without the other. The film does include some repeat collaborators for Coen, however: McDormand, his wife, has starred in several of the Coen brothers’ films including “Blood Simple” and “Fargo,” and Gleeson appeared in “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs.
After opening NYFF, the film will debut on Apple TV Plus. It is one of several cinematic adaptations of the play including “Macbeth,” directed by and starring Orson Welles, and “Throne of Blood,” Akira Kurosawa’s samurai version of the story.
