Watch Denzel Washington and the crew discuss the making of 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' in a new featurette video:

After premiering at the New York Film Festival and receiving a limited theatrical release on December 25, 2021, A24's The Tragedy of Macbeth became available for streaming via Apple TV+ on January 14, 2022. Now the streaming service has released a short behind-the-scenes featurette with the cast and creatives, including stars Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand .

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY When it came time to cast the film, casting director Ellen Chenoweth went in search of someone who could play opposite McDormand, and found her options limited when it came to appropriate choices who could hold their own against the acting legend. On Washington's desire to take the part, she said, "When Denzel said he would do it, it was kind of a miracle because he was classically trained, and he's a huge movie star.

The Tragedy of Macbeth is presented entirely in black and white, and according to the crew, it was shot in a way that approximated black and white as much as possible. Director of Photography Bruno Delbonnel said that it allowed the actors on set to get a sense of what the film would ultimately look like. Emphasizing the abstract nature of the film, Delbonnel added, "black and white already introduces some kind of abstraction.
