The actor described how "The Tragedy of Macbeth" writer and director Joel Cohen, 66, and his real wife McDormand, 64, brought together an international group and Juilliard School alumni for a black and white film with Washington and McDormand as Lord and Lady Macbeth, respectively. Washington also discussed what it thinks about Manhattan's prospects during the global COVID-19 epidemic.
"They brought together a brilliant cast and crew from England and America, others and Juilliard. So it was a great experience across the board, and I hope we do come back," Washington said.

What did Washington think of his film based on William Shakespeare's classic and opened the 59th New York Film Festival? "Not too old, not too worn," he admits. The Macbeth tragedy hits theaters this Christmas.
