After a long career, one that includes a few Academy Awards, the Coen Brothers went their separate ways recently, with Joel Coen debuting the Oscar nominated The Tragedy of Macbeth last year. Now, it seems like Ethan Coen is ready to follow in his brothers footsteps, with a solo project of his own.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Coen is helming a road trip comedy for Focus Features, one he co-wrote with his wife, Tricia Cooke. It’s apparently a project that’s been bouncing around for awhile, and one that was initially meant to be made years ago.
The project is described in the article as such:
The Russ Meyer-inspired action sex comedy was initially to have been directed by Allison Anders, who made the 1992 indie hit Gas Food Lodging. The story centers on a party girl who takes a trip from Philadelphia to Miami with her buttoned-up friend. Along the way they cruise the bars and encounter, among other obstacles, a severed head in a hatbox, a bitter ex-girlfriend, a mystery briefcase and an evil senator.
