The Coen brothers are going to make a very gory horror film

“If you like Blood for Blood (1984), I think you’ll enjoy it,” teases Ethan Coen.

This is certainly the best cinema information you will read today.

On the occasion of the Tromso International Film Festival in Norway, Ethan Coen took part in a masterclass during which he revealed that he and his brother Joel were planning to start writing a new film. The media World of Real relays his words.

“It will be a pure horror film, really very bloody. If you like Blood for blood (1984), I think you’ll enjoy it”, said Ethan Coen.

Tricia Cookeeditor and wife ofEthan Coen, was also present and affirmed that the film will also be “horribly funny“. Which should mark a return to his roots for the latter, who, before making films with his brother, had participated in the making ofevil Dead with Sam Raimi!

Even if all the lights are green, Joel Coen must first close their current project. It cannot be ruled out that production of the horror film will begin before the end of the year.

Will the Coen brothers make a film together again?

The Coen brothers haven’t collaborated since 2018 and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, an anthology western divided into six parts. They have since worked on separate projects, but the American duo is sorely missed in the cinematographic landscape, so much so that the question of a future reunion is regularly asked of them. The Coen track record is considerable, including works like No Country for Old Men, Fargo, True Grit, The Big Lebowski, O’Brother or Miller’s Crossing…

While waiting for this tempting project, Drive Away Dolls directed by Ethan Coen will be released in theaters on April 4, 2024 (in American theaters). The crazy lesbian road movie stars Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Pedro Pascal, Beanie Feldstein and Matt Damon.

It was initially planned for fall 2023, but was hit hard by the strike: “The idea was to write three queer films, in the spirit of bi-productions, explained Cooke while revealing these images. I always thought it would be cool to sit out front with our kids one day, when they’re older, and have fun together. Now we have completed one of these films.”

Here is the trailer for the comedy:
