Bruno Delbonnel is the cinematographer. He worked w/ the Coens on Inside Llewyn Davis. Also known for Amelie. Interesting pick for a Western - Delbonnel likes soft-focus and bloomy lighting. Deakins isn't shooting anything now, curious why not him. Or I'd liked to have seen the Coens reteam with Lubezki. Excellent news. Delbonnel's work in Davis was spectacular, and I love the idea of a "soft-focus, bloomy" Western. Emphasizes the sort of bygone era nature of it, like you're seeing the story in a half-remembered dream. |

Semi-related, but I had a dream the other day that I got tickets to see a two-man play starring Tom Waits and Werner Herzog as hitmen sitting in a diner discussing the state of the world and their philosophies, and I woke up pissed that it wasn't real. |

And... Liam Neeson is listed, and some sites mention Brendan Gleeson, too.

To be honest, this disappoints me. I was really excited about seeing the Coens tackle longer-form storytelling. I'm game to see a new film from them, and hopefully this throws a huge wrench into the awards season, but I was hoping the success of Fargo would have inspired the Coens to go bigger. Oh well.

I'm a little disappointed too... I was expecting a six-hour miniseries... now how long is this movie gonna be? Anything less than three hours would kind of suck...
How could things change so drastically? Did the Coens feel uncomfortable with an episodic structure?

Hmm, from the original announcement article on the first page:
Maybe the initial plan was to have six segments 20-something minutes each? And then they just decided not to release them as episodes but to combine them in one feature film? Because that phrase doesn't seem to suggest that it'd be a 6-hour miniseries.

The way I see it, this project wasn't ever typically long-form, in terms of narrative - it's an anthology and there's no doubt I was gonna watch in one-sitting anyway, just now we'll (hopefully) see it in theaters. And the Oscars this year are a little less lackluster.

I'm confused. So is it basically Pulp Westion? If so, I'm not down with that...

Between this and Roma, Netflix is serious about rubbing it on the Academy's face.

NYFF description:
Here’s something new from the Coen Brothers—an anthology of short films based on a fictional book of “western tales,” featuring Tim Blake Nelson as a murderous, white-hatted singing cowboy; James Franco as a bad luck bank-robber; Liam Neeson as the impresario of a traveling medicine show with increasingly diminishing returns; Tom Waits as a die-hard gold prospector; Zoe Kazan and Bill Heck as two shy people who almost come together on the wagon trail; and Tyne Daly, Saul Rubinek, Brendan Gleeson, Chelcie Ross, and Jonjo O’Neill as a motley crew on a stagecoach to nowhere. Each story is distinct, but unified by the thematic thread of mortality. As a whole movie experience, Buster Scruggs is wildly entertaining, and, like all Coen films, endlessly surprising. An Annapurna Production and Netflix release.

Never thought I'd say this, but James Franco looks fun.

Thankfully this isn't the kind of movie that I need a trailer to sell me on ... it's the Coen Brothers, of course I'm going to watch it no matter what. Though I'm really no digging what I see here: the comedy seems mostly bad, and the visuals seem off, like a poor imitation of the Coens rather than something that the Coens themselves actually made (though I still have faith in Delbonnel). Again, obviously I'm still watching this & am very excited for it. If there's one thing I learned from last year's movies, it's that I should trust my expectations of filmmakers more than the quality of trailers...
