I don't know, it was important to say for some reason.Įthan, I read that when you and your brother used to write together that you would just write scenes and then write more scenes, and eventually, the movie would find itself. But there were other additional elements in O Brother, Where Art Though? that I hadn't expected, and they enhanced the movie in a way that was really exciting to watch.ĬOEN: Importantly, they're fun sex scenes. It's all very straightforward and it's all almost always true to the script. Not structurally so much because, I mean, with Joel and Ethan, very rarely do you go in and cut the movie and then say, “Oh, we have to take the end and put it in the beginning,” or kind of cut things up and cross-cut.
Which of the films that you were involved with, that you worked on with Ethan and Joel, changed the most in the editing room in ways you didn't expect?ĬOOKE: Oh boy, I guess O Brother, Where Art Thou? started as something that seemed to me to go in one direction and then, with all of the other elements kind of included during the editing process, just the soundtrack and how the movie was timed and all of those things, it changed the most from beginning to end. Trish, you have edited a number of Joel and Ethan's films.

You can check out the full conversation below for more on how Coen distinguishes his solo directorial debut from his previous work with Joel, working with cinematographer Ari Wegner, the “queer trilogy,” and which of the Coen brothers filmed changed the most in the editing room. The story is based on a screenplay Coen and Cooke penned together nearly 20 years prior, and during their interview, they discuss the ways the movie changed from conception to production.ĭrive-Away Dolls’ impressive roster also features Pedro Pascal, Matt Damon, Colman Domingo, and Beanie Feldstein, and despite the time between writing and casting, the duo tells Weintraub the actors selected had no effect on the story, though they do reveal what did change. Nursing her wounds from yet another split, the free-spirited Jamie and her uptight friend, Marian ( Geraldine Viswanathan), take to the road en route to Tallahassee, but their plans are thwarted when they tangle up with a group of amateur criminals. According to Coen, in regard to previous work, Drive-Away Dolls is most comparable to movie classics like O Brother, Where Art Thou? and The Big Lebowski, and is “filthy fun.” It’s a queer road trip “B movie” that follows Jamie’s (played by Margaret Qualley) post-break-up journey to a fresh start.
