NEW YORK -- The most commonly held taboo in the arts is uttering the word “Macbeth” inside a theater. Daniel Craig and Ruth Negga don't buy it.Shakespeare’s tragedy was said to be cursed before its first performance more than 500 years ago.
Since then, the superstition forbids the show’s title to ever be spoken inside a theater. Instead it’s referred to as “the Scottish play.”Before taking the stage for opening night of the Broadway revival on Thursday, Craig and Negga were more brazen, preferring not to buy into the superstition that some tragedy will occur if someone utters its name.“Individually, I don’t know we’re that powerful,” Craig told The Associated Press, adding that he also doesn't abide by the ways of undoing the curse, like walking in circles outside the theater and waiting to be invited back inside.“I have my own superstitions about all sorts of things, but not particularly about this,” said Craig, who plays the Scottish anti-hero.His co-star, who plays Lady Macbeth, was even more brash.
“We say it all the time,” Negga said. Like Craig, she admits to being superstitious, just not about saying the name of the play inside the theater.While Craig and Negga hold a looser attitude when it comes to the curse, Maria Dizzia, who plays one of the witches, wondered if they were truly left unscathed.“We said ‘Macbeth,’ and then we all got COVID,” Dizzia said.She added: “The show closed for, you know, 10 days, which we felt was like a kind of curse that was put on the play.”And director Sam Gold expressed second thoughts.“I’m not a superstitious person, but this process will teach me to be one the next time.

Carmel Dagan Staff WriterFred Ward, who starred in films including “Henry and June,” “Tremors,” “The Right Stuff” and “The Player,” died May 8, his publicist confirmed to Variety. He was 79.There was a certain retro quality to the actor’s persona that made Ward seem more akin to Humphrey Bogart or John Garfield (although not quite with those actors’ level of charisma) than to his contemporaries, and it did not seem at all affected.

Daniel Craig is the latest star taking on “The Colbert Questionert”.
Sasha Urban editorAs soon as Daniel Craig announced in 2019 that “No Time to Die” would be his fifth and final film as international spy James Bond, rumors began — and haven’t stopped — swirling about who might take his place.Tom Hardy, Henry Cavill, Idris Elba and even “Euphoria” star Jacob Elordi have been whispered about in relation to the coveted role, and Lashana Lynch became the first woman to hold the 007 title when her role of Nomi took over Bond’s position in the last film.But Bond franchise producer Barbara Broccoli says “it’s going to take some time” before Craig’s replacement is named.“It’s a big decision,” Broccoli told Variety at the Longacre Theatre on Thursday at the opening night of “Macbeth” on Broadway, which she is producing and in which Craig is also starring. “It’s not just casting a role.
