EXCLUSIVE: Tomorrow, the New York Film Festival opens with the World Premiere of The Tragedy of Macbeth, the Shakespearean thriller adapted and directed by Joel Coen, and starring Denzel Washington…

Fran, producing is something that you’ve added to your repertoire, and the results are undeniable. After starting with Every Secret Thing, you championed and produced Olive Kitteridge and it won eight Emmys. And then came Nomadland, which won the Best Picture Oscar, one for Chloé Zhao as only the second female Best Director winners, and one for you as an actress.

So, one of the things that is the foundation of it is that when we go back to work…like, come on, we don’t always work that well at home putting together a window treatment.

But it’s a little bit more complicated than that. I think there were a couple of things about this particular project. You know, when you say that people assume it’s sort of two halves of one brain or we share identical sensibilities or interests, that part of it is actually not true. I mean, what our careers are and our collaboration together is reflective of those points of intersection where we share interests in the same thing.

And I think that also, we’ve been celebrating…Ethan has had a whole career in the theater in the last ten to fifteen years. He started writing plays and having them produced, and we’ve been celebrating that with him for a long time. So this was, for me, watching Joel kind of…Joel has other pursuits that aren’t necessarily as public as Ethan’s in the theater, but this is the first time that Joel has gone from soup to nuts with an idea of his own.

And so all of those decisions that we were talking about before, you know, what was edited, how it was cast, what the tone was, what the pace was, what was the parts of the play that we wanted to bring out more, all of those things I think were really primary to that question, which was yes, that was the interest in doing this this way, and that it’s a movie and they can feel like a movie-movie, as opposed to an exercise or an “adaptation of Shakespeare”.: Right.

Man, I have to say, I'm really disappointed in how Frances took that Rudin question. Saying that this article was supposed to be about the film and not about him. I mean... come on.

What Is Your School Doing to Protect Your Child from COVID-19?Parents & caregivers: How is your child’s school helping to protect students from COVID19? CDCgov recommends schools require universal indoor masking & use additional prevention strategies no matter how many students, educators, & staff are vaccinated. CDCgov Except in FL…R DeSantis and crew are not smart enough to implement precautions. CDCgov My district in TX (FortBendISD) still doesn’t have a mask mandate and they leave it to parents’ discretion for quarantine after exposure, but they do conduct contact tracing. Overall I’d give them an F- b/c they’re too scared of GregAbbott_TX to follow public health guidelines. CDCgov In Oregon thankfully mask wearing is not option, really we should have a federal mandate for mask wearing in schools, but I realize that would never fly.

Johnny Depp Claims “No One Is Safe” in Cancel Culture“It’s a complex situation because it can be seen as an event in history that lasted for however long it lasted for, this cancel culture, or this instant rush to judgment based on, essentially, what amounts to polluted air that’s exhaled,” Johnny Depp said Mr Depp proved he's a victim of domestic violence & also of cancel culture. The blatant smear campaign, fired from his 2 biggest roles all b/c of what his unhinged violent ex wife said, how odd that we're still waiting for a shred of evidence Mr Depp has ever harmed Ms Heard.
