The movie is getting good reviews. Some people like it. People who are in charge of casting the movie found actors to play Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. The actors are Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand, who are important in movies, too. Many people were happy to hear that they cast actors of their age in these roles. McDormand explained, “We’re calling it The Tragedy of Macbeth. I think that is an important distinction.” In Joel’s adaptation, the characters are older. Denzel and I are older than what is often cast as the Macbeths and we do not have children anymore. That puts a lot of pressure on their ambition to become king. The most important distinction is that it is their last chance for glory.
The rest of the cast includes Corey Hawkins as Macduff, Brendan Gleeson as King Duncan, Harry Melling as Malcolm, Bertie Carvel as Banquo, and Kathryn Hunter as the witches. Hunter plays all three witches in this movie. They are like scavenger birds that pick up things on battlefields. This is why Hunter’s character has so many voices and faces. That was one of the most interesting and fulfilling parts of the movie. We wanted to make sure that we included as many witches as possible.
