The Coen brothers plan to reunite, but not for a fantasy 

For the 10th anniversary of Hail, Caesar!, the Coen brothers have reiterated that they plan to work together again. Speaking to AFP (via CTV) and ahead of their appearance at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon, France, where they received the Lumière lifetime achievement award today, Joel and Ethan Coen continued to tease their inevitable but still forthcoming reunion. Joel tells the outlet there has not been “some kind of schism[…]it’s not anything like that.” In fact, they plan to work together and “it better be [in] the near future” because “we’re getting old.” Joel elaborated, “We have a number of different things in what we call the library, things that we’ve written before, and then other things that we’ve thought about writing scripts about and never gotten around to. So we don’t know yet.” Since they stopped knowing what they wanted to make together, Joel has directed a black-and-white adaptation of The Tragedy Of Macbeth for Apple and still has Jack Of Spades, a movie starring Josh O’Connor, in the hopper. Meanwhile, Ethan has spent the last few years making lesbian-led comedy capers with his wife, Tricia Cooke.
