Ethan Coen is incredibly talented, but he’s somehow gone astray.
Reports are that he’s making a companion film to his boxoffice disaster, “Drive Away Dolls.” That film was pulled from theaters after three weeks. It made just $5 million, and most of that was on Day 1.
Now Coen is going ahead with “Honey Don’t” — and that’s what we think when we see the title.
Similar to the lesbian road trip “Dolls,” “Honey” also star Margaret Qualley, plus Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans, plus Charlie Day and Broadway’s Lena Hall.
Focus Features, not satisfied with one flop, is doubling down. Maybe they’ll get the rights to the next Coen Brothers film as compensation.
Ethan, of course, co-wrote and co-directed classic films with his brother Joel from “Blood Simple” to “Fargo,” “Miller’s Crossing,” “Barton Fink,” “No Country for Old Men,” and “Raising Arizona.” We need them back ASAP!
