The Coen brothers’ Hail Caesar! is getting really quite good acclaim following its world premiere in Hollywood. While speaking to the press, Joel and Ethan Coen are asked the question as to whether they’d be up for doing a sequel to any of their movies. Surprisingly, there was some positive news.
“We’re going to do a ‘Barton Fink’ sequel at some point. It’s going to be Turturro in Berkeley in the ’60s,” Joel Coen said to Variety. “That’s the one movie that we thought deserved a sequel, called ‘Old Fink.’ But we don’t want to do it until Turturro is quite old. He’s getting there.”
There wasn’t the positivity about a ‘Big Lebowski 2’ though. Brother Ethan told the trade: “Tara Reid likes to announce that just like [George] Clooney likes to announce Hail, Caesar!. In this case, I don’t think we’ll oblige.” Coen was referring to George Clooney announcing that ‘Caesar’ was his next film, pushing the brothers to finish the script.
Hail Caesar! opens in the UK on 4th March, 2016, and in the U.S. on Friday.
