Dead, for the time being.  Check here for more info http://www.xixax.com/viewtopic.php?t=1390

Also, I want to see the Coens work with George Clooney and Catherine Zeta Jones.  And they need to have a scene together in an elevator.  Yeah, that would be pretty sweet.

-COEN'S GAMBLE ON GRANT
Source: Empire Online 8-3-02

British crime caper, Gambit, is soon to get a re-make Coen style as Joel and Ethan have signed a deal to re-write Ronald Neame's comedy with a mind to putting Hugh Grant in the lead.

The original 1966 film saw Michael Caine as a suitable sticky-fingered thief who teams up with Shirley MacLaine to 'liberate' an expensive statue from its rich owner. Needless to say, things don't exactly go to plan and a series of double-crosses send the whole operation in to disarray.

The Gambit remake has had a number of false starts since the idea was first mooted with high-profile writers- including West Wing creator Aaron Sorkin- attached to develop the script only to be whisked off by other commitments.

However, now that the Coen brothers are on board, writing is set to begin immediately. The pair currenlty have a little time on thier hands while they wait to begin work on Intolerable Cruelty, which is currently awaiting the availability of star George Clooney, still tied up by his directorial debut, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

-COENS PLAN NEW MUSICAL!
Source: Guardian Film 11-8-02

The Coen brothers are planning to produce and direct a musical entitled Romance and Cigarettes, according to Variety.

Sopranos star, James Gandolfini, who appeared in the Coen's The Man Who Wasn't There, is favourite to play the lead role, from a script written by actor and long time Coen collaborator, John Turturro.

The film is set in Bensonhurst, New York and is described as being a cross between Pennies From Heaven and classic US sitcom The Honeymooners.

While the cast in the Coens' last musical endeavour O Brother, Where Art Thou? mimed to other people's recordings, in Romance and Cigarettes the actors would do all their own singing.

The Coens are also apparently keen to sign Susan Sarandon and Christopher Walken, both competent singers and dancers, to the project. Shooting is expected to begin early next year after the Coens have finished their current film, the black comedy Intolerable Cruelty starring George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
