The Coen Brothers to do a Spaghetti Western
Crack out the scatter guns, eye ball popping Sergio Leone close ups and epic Morricone scores, the Coen Brothers are staying out west with a Spaghetti Western scheduled for the Writing/Directing Duo’s next film.
Reporting on cinemablend.com quotes the pair commenting on the speculative upcoming project, which seems to be already written according to Joel Coen, who says in thunder:
”We've written a western with a lot of violence in it. There's scalping and hanging ... it's good. Indians torturing people with ants, cutting their eyelids off.”
No strangers to violent and gruesome death and torment this sounds juicy in that fabulous Danny Boy supported Tommy Gun scene in Millers Crossing kinda way. Keeping it in context Ethan Coen expands on the dust bowl promise,
"It's a proper western, a real western, set in the 1870s. It's got a scene that no one will ever forget because of one particular chicken."
When you talk chickens and westerns your conjuring imagery of poultry slaughter from the opening of Sam Peckinpah’s resonant Pat Garret and Billy the Kid. Not a bad place to start.
Thinking of JD’s favourite spaghetti westerns like The Leone epics, Django, My Name is Nobody and the Trinity Films it easy to see the Brothers humourous sensibilities translating to the vast barren landscape arid in the thick operatic atmosphere of impending confrontation.
There has been no official announcement about casting, BUT letting our minds wander….Clint for a villenous role would make the beads of sweat drop from my forehead.
Clive Owen, Timothy Olyphant and Billy Bob Thornton as feuding bounty hunters would leave me dehydrated and craving a drop of water.
Mickey Rourke as a past his prime destroyer of men and Bennicio Del Torro as his nemesis, I’m gasping for air. The lethal pair hunted down by young guns Joseph Gordon -Levitt and Emile Hirsch who encounter Sean Penn a down on his luck farmer who knows the ways of steel…Johnny D muses in the corner, reciting pathetic reasons why he hasn’t penned his own Penne Cowboys and Indians script.
Mr Doe leaves the room, excited at the prospect of this upcoming project but sorrowful at his own inability to move forward. The vomit swirls in the base of his stomach, Adious amigos.

though, after watching No Country For Old Men, I was hoping that the Coens would get to do the adaptation of Cormac's The Road. I just finished reading it and it was sublime!

I want Martin Scorsese to do Altered Carbon.
I want David Lynch to do The Wasp Factory.

That cast would be fun to see together in a showdown, who knows who will really end up in the film. I'm just so excited by the idea, cant wait

I'm sooooo late to this post, however, I love your cast and ideas, and since it is almost three years since you posted, I wonder whther you have managed to save time to pen that Western yet?
Just dying to see a hard and fast bloodbath of ruthless Cowboys, mass tribal assaults by Indians and gunslingers blwoing everyone away in drunken saloon sprees!

No I have yet again failed to even begin penning my many ideas for a western. I'm just a lazy bum who seldom follows through.
