The last endeavor the filmmaking duo worked on was Netflix’sThe Ballad of Buster Scruggs(2018). Reports surfaced about their alleged “break-up” following their respective pursuit of solo endeavors. Joel Coen embarked on a journey to helmThe Tragedy of Macbeth(2021).
Meanwhile, Ethan Coen took a brief sabbatical. He eventually returned with his documentary,Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind(2022). He is also set to make his narrative film debut as a solo director with the upcoming comedy road filmDrive-Away Dolls.
At the time, many were quick to assume the nature of the split was permanent. However, eventually, Ethan Coen dispelled the dramatic nature of the reports revolving around his break from filmmaking. He confirmed (viaAssociated Press) that he had gotten bored and creating movies became“more of a grind and less fun.”
At the time, he also mentioned that the rumors of his ‘split’ with his brother weren’t based on a definitive decision and that he might work with Joel Cohen again. Now, in a recent interview withEmpire, the younger of the two affirmed:
“[We are] working on writing something.”
Although the brief statement doesn’t reveal much, it does highlight how wildly inflated the rumors of their professional parting were. A little break never hurt anybody, and now the two can return as combined forces and enthrall cinephiles once again.
It’s unclear if the two will co-direct this next initiative, but hey, if they require the participation of a promising actress, one particularThe Boysstar would be more than willing to contribute.
