This 30-second teaser already has me hooked.
has gotten the Hollywood treatment time and time again, spinning off innumerable adaptations. And though some of these were, none of these past adaptations will be able to stand a candle to A24 and Apple’s upcoming rendition,. Sure, I have yet to see the film. But I’m confident in saying that because none of those previous versions counted two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington as the titular Lord or three-time Oscar winner Frances McDormand as his calculating wife, Lady Macbeth. So, yes.
This morning, A24 and Apple TV+ dropped the first trailer for the highly-anticipated film. In actuality, the teaser is just 30 seconds of Washington, McDormand, and other actors marching non-determinedly around a black-and-white square-screen — plus, one voiceover’d muttering of the play’s famous line, “By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes” — but even with only that, it’s already one of the best things I’ve seen all year.
Adapted for the screen and directed by Joel Coen , this latest adaptation is described in a press release as a “tale of murder, madness, ambition, and wrathful cunning.” Judging by this admittedly barebones first peek, it’s not hard to trust that Coel’s “bold and fierce adaptation” will indeed live up to the hype.
