Joel and Ethan Coen are planning to reunite for a horror film – and it sounds like it could be intense.
“It’s a pure horror film, and it gets very bloody,” Ethan teased. It turns out the new film might have things in common with the brothers' first movie, too. “If you like Blood Simple, I think you’ll enjoy it,” he added. If that isn’t enticing enough, Drive-Away Dolls co-writer (and Ethan’s wife) Tricia Cooke also revealed that the screenplay is “horribly funny.”
While the Coen brothers haven’t collaborated for some time, they’ve both been busy individually. Ethan of course has Drive-Away Dolls on the way, while Joel most recently directed and wrote The Tragedy of Macbeth, starring Frances McDormand and Denzel Washington.
Considering the Coen brothers have brought us the likes ofNo Country for Old Men, Fargo,Inside Llewyn Davis, andThe Big Lebowski, news of their imminent reunion is very exciting indeed. There’s no word yet on when the movie might go into production or any more specific plot details, but, still, this is enough to tide us over for now.
Drive-Away Dolls releases this February 23. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the upcoming majormovie release datesfor everything else the year has in store.
