Coens to direct Cormac McCarthy's NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN starring Javier Bardem & Tommy Lee Jones!
Hey folks, Harry here... seems Hollywood is finally getting their shit together this year. We've started off most of January with enough news to fill in the blanks of a MAD LIB book for Elementary Children... Seems all it took was Genndy directing a DARK CRYSTAL sequel to suddenly breathe life into the old town! Seems the Disney-fied MIRAMAX and PARAMOUNT's evolving classics division plan to produce this latest outing of the greatest directing/writing team in the history of modern cinema... the Coen Brothers. The book is set back in 1980 in the West Texas no-man's land and involves a Vietnam vet that wanders into the remains of a badly executed exchange of illicit substances (think the President's snuff). There's also a pair of killers that are tracking him down all sinister like. The best thing so far, besides the source material and the Brothers Coen - is that the film will headline Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones to start off this cast - I'm really hoping that John Turturro plays an evil Mexican assassin. I really really really want to see that. He'd be the best non-Mexican Mexican since Jack Palance in THE PROFESSIONALS and Wallace Berry in VIVA VILLA! I'm just saying! More goodness to look forward to!
