I’ve been a big fan of the Coen Brothers for a while now. Their films are fun, artful, character driven and usually funny too. It’s an all too rare mix in film makers today. So I was happy to hear about their new project (that sounds like follows their usual style) “No Country For Old Men”.
The good folks over at Empire give us this little synopsis of the project:
The story is set in Texas, where Llewellyn Moss, a young farmhand hunting antelope near the Rio Grande, stumbles across some dead bodies, a stash of heroin and a suitcase full of money. He takes the money and runs. But after two more men are murdered, the local sheriff gets involved and an ex-Special Forces hitman is called in to retrieve the money, things get dangerous for young Moss.
The only thing that sounds a little off to me is that at first glance it looks kind of similar to “A Perfect Plan”. But don’t read too much into a one paragraph synopsis. According to the story the film should start shooting in May.
