For me, its about the filmmakers.
Especially, at this point in my career, I am only interested in working with the best.
I dont know how many more films Im going to make, he explained.
Its probably not that many.
I want to do things I havent done.
…After that, Ryan Coogler is writing a part for me in the next Black Panther.
This is awesome news for the following reasons:
1.
Denzel Washington is one of the greatest actors of my lifetime.
There’s literally no bad tape on this guy.
Maybe the easiest actor to love and celebrate of ALL TIME.
That’s the only reason I need to use to explain why this is awesome.
It’s because Denzel is so fucking good.
Any extra consideration here would be so meaningless.
The reason it’s awesome is because Denzel rocks.
More important, he has to play a bad guy, right?
I think that’s when Denzel shines brightest.
(UNDERRATED) and The Little Things (APPROPRIATELY RATED).
And honestly that’s really important because I think we’re running out of bad guys.
I grew up in a world where you could kill an unlimited amount of Germans onscreen.
For a brief time that extended to all Soviets and most parts of Somalia.
There was structure to support the creativity and artistic interpretations.
Or some powerful shit actors say when they let their guard down and talk about the role.
Most of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy involved frivolous villainous deaths and that was two decades ago.
Like when Hulk Hogan went to WCW and turned full hell.
Or maybe when John Smoltz converted from a HOF starter to a HOF closer.
My only big hesitation is that they use him for an Origin story.
That would suck because I’m sick and tired of Origin stories.
We get one Breaking Bad and one Prison Break per lifetime and that’s it.
So hopefully that’s what they do otherwise I might complain and be disappointed.
