Edward Norton Wants Denzel Washington To Star In His Prison ... (The Playlist)

Just because you haven't seen Edward Norton on screen a lot recently doesn't mean the actor isn't working on a bunch of projects in development.

I know it, I want to get to it, I want to write it, direct it, I want Denzel to play one of the main parts in it.” Take a listen to all the conversations below. He also reminded us that he’s merging these two passions, art and environmentalism, in “I’ve got a miniseries about the Lewis & Clark expedition I wrote. On top of that, Norton also reminded Shepard that while he may not be on screen 24/7, he’s constantly thinking of projects he wants to make or has already written and revealed a few. And more work is on the way that hasn’t been announced. “Motherless Brooklyn” is a big part of that absence to some extent, Norton reminding Shepard that writing, directing, producing, and scrounging up the financing for the movie took years before it was made. I’ve got a really good prison escape drama that I’ve literally written in my head. “I’ve got a lot of stories in my head that I want to make into films. That’s the central question that Dax Shepard has on the new [Armchair Expert podcast](https://armchairexpertpod.com/) interview with his old buddy Norton.

Six Definitive Films: The ultimate beginner's guide to Denzel ... (Far Out Magazine)

Denzel Washington is the star of the Joel Coen movie 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' with Frances McDormand, Brendan Gleeson, Kathryn Hunter and Harry Melling...

[Joel Coen’s adaptation of Shakespeare’s](https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/joel-coen-opens-up-the-tragedy-of-macbeth/) The Tragedy of Macbeth with Frances McDormand and Brendan Gleeson. Realising that he was significantly more successful whilst starring in dramatic roles, as the 2010s came to a close, Washington’s action movie projects began to ebb away. Washington’s Joe Miller is the homophobic lawyer hired to defend the man, taking on a new perspective of the world as he grows a stronger emotional connection to his client. Starring his career in theatre, starring in an off-Broadway performance of William Shakespeare’s Coriolanus in 1979, Washington first came to industry prominence in the early 1980s when he featured in the medical drama St. After two turns in supporting roles, featuring in both Much Ado About Nothing and The Pelican Brief in 1993, Washington returned to being a glittering Hollywood lead when he co-starred with Tom Hanks in the influential drama Philadelphia. A true icon of American cinema, Washington has proved himself in collaborations with the likes of Spike Lee, Robert Zemeckis, Ridley Scott and Jonathan Demme.

10 Best Denzel Washington Movie Performances (High on Films)

Denzel Washington is one of the best American actors. The swagger and easy charm of the actor deserves an adjective like Washington-ian.

The narrative opens in 1957 and follows the domestic drama in the family of middle-aged Troy, who works as a garbage collector. As punishment, Trip is flogged in front of the other men. The self-assurance and fearlessness Washington exhibited in films like Crimson Tide or Courage Under Fire is all there. Just look at the scene where Trip is accused of planning to desert the army. The actor also delivers the play’s famous speeches and lines in a truthful and unpretentious manner. His trademark charisma is replaced with the painful expressions of a damaged person. The narrative elegantly interweaves the military conflicts with the social issues of the era. Though The Hurricane is largely a prison drama, Washington underwent intensive boxing training to perfectly look like a boxer in the initial scenes. The stark black-and-white cinematography and the magnificently austere aesthetic bestows the retelling a distinguishable quality. Most importantly, Denzel Washington is one of the best American actors of all time. Similar to what Washington did in his later films like Flight and Fences, the actor’s inherent charm and largess is superseded by his character’s deeply flawed nature. From Devil in a Blue Dress, He Got Game to Training Day and Tragedy of Macbeth, the shades of the characters Washington played over the years gradually got darker.
