Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at 2:27PM Coen Brothers Find a Title & Financing for Folk Music Movie
Back in June we posted an article about the Coen Brothers next project, a film focusing on the folk music movement in Greenwich Village loosely based on the influence of Dan Van Ronk. Part of that story was true, sadly not the portion about folk musician Van Ronk. Variety reports the Oscar-winning siblings will instead focus on a character called Llewyn Davis, the polar opposite of Van Ronk, and have titled the film Inside Llewyn Davis.
StudioCanal will finance the film, and the Coens will reunite with producer Scott Rudin (True Grit, No Country for Old Men) as well. Apparently, Inside Llewyn Davis will shoot in New York, where the brothers currently live and will be their first film set in the city since The Hudsucker Proxy (1994). Of course, that one was actually filmed in North Carolina.
As a life long, die hard fan of the Coen Brothers I'm super psyched their working on a new movie. I don't know a whole hell of a lot about folk music, though I do listen to some on occassion (Gordon Lightfoot, older Sufjan Stevens). Really, these guys could make a movie on anything, and I would still be down to the ground to see it.
We'll have updates for you on Inside Llewyn Davis as soon as we get them.
