Denzel Washington walks a murderous path in ‘The Tragedy Of Macbeth’

A third trailer for the film ‘The Tragedy Of Macbeth’, an adaptation of the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, directed by Joel Coen, one half of Coen brothers, has been released.

Starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand as Lord and Lady Macbeth, the story follows Lord Macbeth, a general of King Duncan of Scotland (Brendan Gleeson), who is told by a trio of witches that he will be the king. When a promotion appears to support the prophecy, Macbeth, urged by Lady Macbeth, carves a bloody path to the Scottish throne. But his ambition does not end there as violence continues to beget violence, according to Indian Express.

Promising a visceral, visually sumptuous Shakespeare adaptation, the trailer shows Macbeth dispatching the unfortunate King Duncan with a knife.

Shakespeare’s plays have historically given loads of freedom to screenwriters, playwrights and directors to give their own spin to the original story

The Tragedy Of Macbeth, judging by the teaser, appears to follow the play pretty faithfully. And the movie looks absolutely unmissable for any film buff.

Initially slated for a theatrical release from A24, The Tragedy of Macbeth is gearing up to hit the big screen with a limited release followed by a streaming premiere on Apple TV+ in January, according to Screenrant. The Tragedy of Macbeth will have a limited theatrical release on December 25, 2021 and stream on Apple TV+ from January 14, 2022.
