Hot on the heels of next month's release of Burn after Reading, the Coens will dig into another black comedy, A Serious Man. Variety describes it as,
Set in 1967, story centers on Larry Gopnik (the stage's Michael Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor whose life begins to unravel when his wife sets out to leave him and his socially inept brother ("Spin City's" Richard Kind) won't move out of the house.
The film departs from BAR's big names for lesser knowns and a simple sounding story. Though nothing is simple with the Coens. Let's just hope it's not another Intolerable Cruelty.

I like the idea of the Coens handing their magic over to nontraditional actors. Of course, Josh Brolin had kind of slinked to obscurity before appearing in "No Country For Old Men." Javier Bardem wasn't a huge name either. They did ok in that.
