New Coen brothers film begins shooting in Twin Cities

With Burn After Reading set to open nationwide on Friday and after three Oscars this year alone, Joel and Ethan Coen have certainly completed a year’s work. But don’t tell them that.

Coen brothers get Serious about new film

Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand. Chances are you’ve heard of these names. What about Michael Stuhlbarg and Richard Kind? Yeah, not so much.

Prolific directors Joel and Ethan Coen’s latest movie, Burn After Reading (starring the aforementioned Pitt, Clooney and McDormand, among others), isn’t even in theaters yet and they’re already about to start filming their next, the 1967 period comedy A Serious Man.
