Ethan Coen's Upcoming Comedy HONEY DON'T Casts Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, and Margaret Qualley
Director Ethan Coen (No Country For Old Men, Burn After Reading) has a new comedy feature coming up titled Honey Don’t, which he wrote with his wife and writing partner Tricia Cooke, a veteran editor who cut such Coen Brothers classics as The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou?. Coen and Cooke also co-wrote the upcoming Drive-Away Dolls.
The film has cast Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, and Margaret Qualley in the lead roles. The movie is set to begin filming in late March in New Mexico, and it is described as a story set in Bakersfield, California, with Evans playing a cult leader, Qualley portraying a private investigator, and Plaza as a mystery woman.
Details as to the film’s plot are currently under wraps, though Deadline reports that it’s a comedy in the same vein as Drive-Away Dolls, which also stars Margaret Qualley as Jamie, a character who “regrets her breakup with her girlfriend, while Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) needs to relax. In search of a fresh start, they embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals.”
This sounds like it might be pretty good. Stay tuned for more info.
