How can you not love the Cohen brothers? From Raising Arizona to The Big Lebowski to No Country for Old Men, they've proven time and again they are a duo to be reckoned with. Now it looks like they may not only be taking on a period piece, but a big budget film as well.
In a recent interview with the Associated Press promoting their upcoming film Inside Lleywn Davis, Joel and Ethan Cohen revealed that they are currently writing a "sandal" picture set in ancient Rome. They went on to say that the film would explore the "big questions" and will have zero subtext unlike their recent movie A Serious Man.
While the Cohen brothers' films certainly explore the gamut of the human condition, I can't recall them ever doing a big budget picture. It sounds like a huge gamble that just might pay off.
Inside Lleywn Davis opens nationwide this Friday.
