14. The Tragedy Of Macbeth

The Equalizer 2 Denzel Washington
Sony

As exciting as the prospect of a Shakespeare adaptation from the Coen brothers sounds, The Tragedy of Macbeth will be a wholly unique venture given that, for the first time in their storied career, the film will only be directed by one of the duo - Joel Coen.

In an undeniable bout of dream casting, Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand will play Lord and Lady Macbeth respectively, while the supporting cast includes Brendan Gleeson (King Duncan), Corey Hawkins (Macduff), Harry Melling (Malcolm), and Ralph Ineson.

Filmed entirely on soundstages to ensure it looked "untethered from reality," this is sure to be a Bard adaptation like no other.

Release Date: TBA
