Coen Brothers to Go Spaghetti

Ethan Coen and Joel Coen

The always-fascinating Coen Brothers have said that their next project is going to be a full-on spaghetti western, as opposed to the pseudo-western that their current Oscar favorite No Country for Old Men is, according to Cinema Blend.

Joel Coen warns: ”We've written a western with a lot of violence in it. There's scalping and hanging ... it's good. Indians torturing people with ants, cutting their eyelids off.” Of course, this being the Coen brothers, you know that will be graphic in its depiction and not just an implied violence. Still, the intent is not to make a horror picture, but a Western says Ethan Coen: "It's a proper western, a real western, set in the 1870s. It's got a scene that no one will ever forget because of one particular chicken."

They'd better cast Tommy Lee Jones again. That guy was born to drawl with a cowboy hat and a badge.
