Ethan Coen's next film won't be with his brother Joel.
Ethan Coen is taking a road trip without his brother for his next film. He'll instead be joining forces with Focus Features and Working Title to direct a currently untitled road trip film that's been years in the making. Plot details and other specifics are currently being kept under wraps, but Coen will be joined by his wife Tricia Cooke who co-wrote the script and is producing the film alongside him. Filming is expected to begin this Summer.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY For the project, Coen will reunite with one of him and his brother Joel Coen's typical producers Robert Graf. Graf has been along for the ride for many of the Coen brothers' biggest successes and even joined Joel's first solo project The Tragedy of Macbeth. Also on board as producers are Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title.
With the solo outing, Ethan is following in his brother Joel's footsteps. The other half of the famous sibling filmmakers went alone to helm the Oscar-nominated The Tragedy of Macbeth for Apple TV+, marking the first time either one of the pair had written and directed a separate project. Together, the Coen brothers' brand has been a seal of quality for films over the years, with the two creating such masterpieces as The Big Lebowski, Fargo, and No Country for Old Men.
