When writer-director John Lee Hancock was looking for two actors to play detectives on the trail of a serial killer in his latest film “The Little Things,” Denzel Washington and Rami Malek didn’t seem like the most obvious pairing. Washington: I don’t think it’s rare — it’s just shifted where it gets made. There’s an old saying, “If it ain’t on the page, it ain’t on the stage.” I think that’s still the case. When Warner Bros. announced it was moving its entire 2021 theatrical slate to day-and-date release on HBO Max, starting with “The Little Things,” it sent shockwaves through the industry. I don’t think that’s going away.
