Ethan Coen Teases ‘Full-On’ Horror Film and Other Projects That Probably Won’t Happen

Empire Magazine hosted a web chat with the Ethan half of the Coen Brothers yesterday, in which he said that “We’re working on a couple of scripts now; one of which it would be fair to call a full-on horror movie.” So of course “Coen Brothers May do a Horror Film” should be popping up all over the place on your RSS feed.
