But the Oscar winner might’ve brought a distinct perspective to the character. As many Fast & Furious fans know, the role of Dom Toretto’s father was played by Mayan M.C.’s J.D. Given Washington has played fathers in films like Fences and John Q, there’s no telling what direction Dom, Mia and Jakob’s father would’ve gone in with him in the driver’s seat. That’s something that needs to settle in. So, Denzel Washington could’ve played Vin Diesel’s father in F9. And then early on, a similar question was asked, 'Does this person have to be alive? Can it be a dead person?' There was talk that Denzel Washington was going to be in our film, and I think he was initially maybe going to play Vin’s dad, or something like that? I’m a huge Denzel fan, so I would love to see him again, and share the screen with him, so someone like him. The F9 star spilled to Screen Rant about what role The Tragedy of Macbeth star could’ve played in one of 2021’s biggest hits. Washington could’ve been related to a key character, according to Kang. But he wouldn’t be the first notable star to join the world of fast cars and ridiculous stunts (i.e., Charlize Theron, Helen Mirren and Kurt Russell). One of the two new Denzel Washington movies that have just touched down on Netflix today includes Safe House released in 2012. So, Sung Kang’s revelation might throw some fans off. Cast: Denzel Washington, Ryan Reynolds, Robert Patrick Writer: David Guggenheim Runtime: 115 min. But for now, it’s a delightful surprise to see Washington’s Oscar-winning performance receiving so much attention.Getting Denzel Washington to be involved in the Fast & Furious franchise would be a major moment. It’s anyone’s guess how long the film’s reign will last (there aren’t any major new releases on Netflix until Yes Day debuts on Friday).
So in between those major releases, the ability to capture viewers with older films (which likely cost less money to distribute digitally) could prove to be quite the asset.Īny way you shake it: it’s rare for a movie like Training Day to come out on top. Netflix has several more huge releases planned in the near future, such as Yes Day (which premieres on March 12), The Woman in the Window (May 14) and Army of the Dead (May 21). On the other hand, that saturation might not be a terrible thing. So if a movie like Training Day is able to eclipse every major new release, does that mean that Netflix’s viewership is a bit saturated at the moment? On any given day, the platform has either had one of its own movies capture the #1 spot (the last five movies to finish in first place were Sentinelle, Moxie, Bigfoot Family, I Care a Lot and To All the Boys: Always and Forever) or had a recent-release finish in the top spot (such as War Dogs, Cut Throat City, The Next Three Days, and Homefront).
But until then, let’s take a look at the top 20 best Denzel Washington films of all time (and. It means all new movies being shown tonight on the small screen, and were here to make sure you dont miss out on.
This does make you wonder if Netflix’s scheduling went a little awry in early March. With the release of his latest film The Little Things on HBO Max earlier this year, Denzel fans can also look forward to his upcoming directorial biopic, A Journal for Jordan, and his role as Macbeth in Joel Coen’s upcoming The Tragedy of Macbeth. An underrated Denzel Washington thriller is among the movies on TV tonight. That is a testament to the film’s legacy and its ability to continue to captivate moviegoers. So, again: it’s kind of crazy that Training Day-a movie that was made almost 20 years ago and hasn’t received any hype as of late-is suddenly the most watched movie amongst Netflix’s 75 million U.S. And with Netflix being the world’s most popular streaming entity, it can be argued that whatever film is atop the Top 10 list is also the most popular movie in the country in that moment. As COVID-19 has crippled movie theaters, streaming has become our go-to outlet for entertainment. These daily rankings have become a great way to track what films are controlling the movie zeitgeist.
