Coen Brothers Reviews, Interviews & More
For whatever reason Warner Brothers delayed the release of Cloud Atlas until now, which is surprising as it came out in October, and most films have a four to five month window before the hit home video. Well, we're glad it's here. It's a very strong week for catalog titles as well, so check out what's hitting this week.
Film fest fans, prepare to get an eyeful—the full lineup of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.

Check out the full list...
Perhaps in the haze of the post-Oscar season, there wasn’t a lot of pressure to put out films on Blu-ray this week, but we are getting two of the best films of last year, and one of the Coen Brothers’ most underrated films (partly because it was a bomb on release).
Like any good cinephile, we treat the release of a new Coen brothers movie as an event. Their latest, Inside Llewyn Davis, is the first in twenty years not to be shot by Roger Deakins, and tells the story of a New York folk singer in the 60's. After their recent run of movies (No Country for Old Men, Burn After...
So this is pretty much the most depressing thing ever (for today, anyway). Remember when renowned ass Tara Reid made an ass out of herself (shocker!) by saying that she was set to star in the upcoming sequel to the cult classic The Big Lebowski? Well, she did, claiming that The Big Lebowski 2 was coming soon to a theater near you. And...
The Coen Brothers' latest film True Grit will be the opening feature at the 61st Berlin International Film Festival.

According to Berlinale.de, the film will premiere at the festival on February 11, 2011.
The golden child of the upcoming awards season might be Joel and Ethan Coen's True Grit.

Watch the trailer below...
The first official trailer has been released for the Coen Brother's adaptation of True Grit.

Cogburn. Take a look...
The Coen Brothers are hard at work on their remake of the classic 1969 film, True Grit.

From the looks of it the Oscar winning directors aren't pulling any punches when it comes to creating a genuine replica of...
Where has Barry Pepper been for the past few years? Lately he's been doing a lot of smaller films but I miss seeing him act out "grittier" material. It's a new decade and he's about make a return to the big screen with a role in the Coen Brothers' upcoming film, True Grit. According to Variety, the actor has landed a supporting part in the remake that...

There are plenty of big-time movies rolling onto DVD shelves including an October tent-pole film that wasn't, an August tent-pole that wasn't, and a romantic comedy comeback that wasn't.
Okay, so maybe these movies aren't so big, but we do get a chance to catch up with one of the ten Best Picture nominees as A Serious Man hits the shelves, plus a new collection...
The talented Coen Brothers have been hard at work on their adaptation of True Grit, the famous novel that earned a wider audience when it was brought to the big screen back in 1969. The movie earned John Wayne his first and only Academy Award and is known for being one of the best Westerns ever made. The Coen's have gotten their hands on it, found an A-list cast, and...
The Coen Brothers True Grit remake is moving full speed ahead, and the directors are on the look out for their leading lady. Rumor has it that the majority of the male roles have been filled with the likes of Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin. But instead of dipping into the Hollywood pool of actresses, the Coen's are opening the floodgates to the general...
It's been a long time since I felt the need to say this, but "Oh snap!" According to Variety, Josh Brolin and Matt Damon are in talks to star in the Coen Brothers remake of True Grit.

Here's a taste of reverse fortune. As of late all we've been hearing about are American directors adapting or remaking foreign (mostly Japanese and Chinese) properties. Oh, how the tables have turned. According to Variety, Chinese director Zhang Yimou is planning on remaking Ethan and Joel Coen's 1984 film, Blood...
Joel and Ethan Coen are doubling down. Not only are the remaking a film, they're remaking a remake of the Charles Portis book "True Grit" (try to follow that after a few cocktails). The original adaptation came out in 1968 and won John Wayne an Oscar and co-starred Robert Duvall, Glen Campbell, Kim Darby, and Dennis Hopper. Needless to say, they have some big shoes to fill if they want to...
