Movie Natters: May 23, 2008 Archive

"The Coens are coming! The Coens are coming!"

Much of the day at Natters Towers has revolved around the news that after months of suspense Joel and Ethan Coen finally have committed to shooting "A Serious Man" in the Twin Cities.

The subsidy approved by the Minnesota Legislature sealed the deal, and now things will really begin to rock.

Of course it's unlikely that there will be a huge amount of fanfare and local gladhanding when the Coens arrive. The brothers are notoriously shy, especially when it comes to the media. It'll be interesting to see who, if anyone, gets access to the set.

Have a safe and cinema-filled Memorial Day Weekend
