Coen brothers tag two little knowns …

I am always looking for the next bit of news regarding Joel and Ethan Coen and their newest films. I love these guys! The brothers Coen are perhaps the greatest auteur filmmakers working today and have plenty of years of fantastic filmmaking left under their belts. While I sit and patiently await the release of ‘Burn After Reading’, I can now put faces to the billing of their next film called ‘A Serious Man’. Relative unknowns by most, the film will star Michael Stuhlgard (primarily a stage actor) and Richard Kind (’Spin City’, ‘For Your Consideration’).

Production is set to begin some time in September in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

[Set in 1967, story centers on Larry Gopnik (Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor whose life begins to unravel when his wife sets out to leave him and his socially inept brother (Kind) won't move out of the house.] — Hollywood Reporter
