This months Empire magazine has a 13 page article about the Coen brothers movies called, The Complete Coens. There’s a two page interview with our favourite siblings about No Country For Old Men and a page dedicated to each movie (except the last four which get half a page each). In addition there’s a section about the three forthcoming movies, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man and Hail Caesar.

Wouldn’t you know it, the ONE week I’m away on holiday all manner of things happen in the world of the Coen brothers! First and most importantly is the revelation that the IMDB has “Hail, Caesar” as being IN PRODUCTION. This pretty much confirms that this is the Coens next movie. Information will start dripping through I’m sure.

Thanks to “Bunnie Lebowski”, Stephen Glitheroe and Chris Savino for alerting me to this by leaving nice emails for me to read upon my return.

Well it seems the Coen brother’s next film is to be “Hail, Caesar”! George Clooney is to star and couldn’t resist spilling the beans. He is to play the leader of a 1920’s theatre troup who are putting on a production of “Julius Caesar”. Clooney is quoted as saying, “The star would have an idiot toga and a pencil mustache.” and describes his character as “an absolute jackass.” Sounds good to me! This would mark Clooney’s third collaboration with the Coens and the final part of what he calls his “Idiot Trilogy” following O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty. “Hail, Caesar” is just one of the many scripts the Coen brothers have worked on over the years, you can read about some of the others in the Future Projects section.
