Speaking with Deadline earlier, Frances and Joel revealed that it was easy to get Denzel on board the movie.

“It was so easy. Maybe five or six years ago, Denzel and I had lunch together and we talked very generally about, it would be cool to work together at some point, if the right thing came along for him and for us,” Joel explained. “So, when we were casting this movie, it was very much…Denzel? And it was [like you heard a] click. I got together with him at, again for lunch in LA, and I said, what about doing Macbeth? And he was like, yeah, cool.”

Frances added, “It couldn’t have been more perfect, actually. There aren’t many actors, contemporaries of my age, that could handle the character but also who consistently does theater the way Denzel does.”

Frances McDormand gets in the middle of a pic with Steve Buscemi and Joel Coen at the Fargo reunion during the 2021 Tribeca Film Festival on Friday (June 18) in New York City.

The two actors starred in the 1996 movie, that was directed by Joel alongside his brother, Ethan.

The three spoke at a panel about the movie, which inspired a series on FX that has been running for four seasons so far.

In a recent interview, Steve reminisced on the film, giving a lot of credit to Frances for the success.

“It’s the Coen Brothers, the writing is so good and of course Frances McDormand’s performance, she’s the real heart of the movie,” he shared. “That’s what I love about it. It has their dark sensibility and their dark humor, but then you have Frances’ character that counterbalances that. All of the performances, if I do say so myself, are top rate.”

Steve also shared that people still ask him about the wood chipper scene.

“It hasn’t happened lately, but it’s happened enough in the past,” Steve said. “Especially when people say that’s their favorite scene, and I say, ‘OK, I actually wasn’t in that scene, but OK, thank you.’ That was a prosthetic leg.”

Just a few months ago, Frances and Joel, who are married, were spotted on a rare date night out.

Zoe Kazan strikes a pose with her husband Paul Dano backstage at the screening of The Ballad of Buster Scruggs held during the 2018 AFI Gala on Sunday (November 11) in Hollywood.

The 35-year-old actress was also accompanied by her friend Grace Gummer, as well as co-stars Saul Rubinek, Stephen Root, Chelcie Ross, Tim Blake Nelson, Grainger Hines, Bill Heck and directors Joel and Ethan Coen.

The screening went on as scheduled despite Netflix axing the red carpet portion, following the horrific shooting at Borderline Bar and in light of the ongoing California wildfires, which continue to rage in Ventura and Los Angeles counties.

“‘Our hearts are with the victims and families of the Borderline shooting and of the California Wildfires.’ As a native Californian, I could not agree more with Netflix’s decision here,” Zoe tweeted.
