A Serious Plan? The Coens Could Horrify...

[The Man]

If any genre needs the Brothers' boot up the behind...

"Gambit was just a writing job. It seems like the movie is going to get made but not by us; it never was to have been. Old Fink, the Barton Fink sequel, John Turturro is not old enough yet. And the whole thing may be more a thought experiment than a movie. We don't really know what we're doing yet; we're working on a couple of scripts..."

...one of which it would be fair to call a full-on horror movie. Frances McDormand is the monster."

Now we're fairly certain, since we were here to hear his tone of voice, that we can discount the latter part of that statement as a joke (that is, after all, his sister-in-law he's talking about). But we believe him on the first part, so it sounds as though there's at least a good chance that we will see a Coens horror on the big screen.

I always thought the Coens had a lot of horror elements in their films, particularly Blood Simple and Barton Fink... it'll be interesting to see them do full on horror (or whatever it is they have planned). I wonder how much they'll borrow from Sam Raimi...
