Coen Brothers get bloody

Prepare ꧃for grizzly murder, pai𝄹nful mutilation and sneaky double-crossing: we’re back in the wacky world of the Coen brothers!

Joel and Ethan Coen are returning to their darker Blood Simple style for an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s blood-soaked book No Country For Old Men. It’s a noir𓄧 thriller set in West Texas.

In the script, a hunter named Llewellyn Moss, who’s 𝓡out tracking antelope near the Rio Grande, instead finds dead men, a cache of heroin and more than $2 million in cash. He’s sorely tempted by the cash, which he knows will change his life. But when two more men are slain and a victim is discovered in his burning car does a local sheriff realise that Moss and his wife are in more trouble than they thought – there’s a number of evil men after the money and 🍌the drugs, and Moss, his missus and Sheriff Bell are caught in the crossfire…

The boys plan to start shooting in 🌊May with locations in Texas and New Mexico. There’s no whiff of casting yet, but it already sounds🌸 like a brutal winner…
