After shooting in New York City and elsewhere last year, Mr. Coen said, the brothers finished the movie at their own pace. They could have rushed it into the Oscar season but didn’t. Instead a public debut at the Cannes film festival in May is possible, he said. And by then, assuming that buyers like it as much as Mr. Wald did,“Inside Llewyn Davis” may have an American distributor, an army of publicists and a release date.

Though I'm still bummed they never made Yiddish Policemen's Union.

Am I the only one that thought that trailer looked terrible? Looks like it's quirky for quirky's sake. "It's not my cat, I just don't know what to do with it"

The trailers to their movies almost always look terrible. The thing I like about the Coen brother's movies is that the characters develop throughout the whole movie to the point that by the end you feel like you've known them forever. That's the "best" part of their style and I, for one, am GLAD that the best part doesn't come through in the trailer. I like the cast. I think the premise (60's folk singer screw up guy) is fertile grounds for them.

Normally I really enjoy Coen films so I'll probably give them the benefit of the doubt, but I don't recall any of their past trailers having so many eye-roll inducing scenes in it.

CANNES, FRANCE—Bummer, man — the Dude won’t abide again. There will be no sequel to The Big Lebowski.

That’s the final word on the subject Monday from filmmaking brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, during a press day at the Cannes Film Festival for their new film, Inside Llewyn Davis.
Despite a growing fanbase for the cult 1998 comedy about Jeff Bridges’ hippie bowler character Jeff “The Dude” Lebowski, and clamour for a sequel, the writer/director duo aren’t interested in revisiting the past—even though actors in the film, Bridges among them, are keen to reprise their roles.
“John Turturro, who wants it, talks to us incessantly about doing a sequel about his (bowler) character Jesus,” Ethan Coen said.
“He even has the story worked out, which he’s pitched to us a few times, but I can’t really remember it ...
No, I don’t see it in our future.”
Joel Coen was even firmer: “I don’t think it’s going to happen ... I just don’t like sequels.”
The Coens are concentrating on their brand new film Inside Llewyn Davis, which stars Oscar Isaac in the title role of a struggling pre-Dylan folkie in the New York winter of 1961.
Lebowski alumnus John Goodman co-stars.
The film premiered to raves over the weekend, and it’s currently the front runner amongst the 20 competing for the Palme d’Or on May 26.
The Coens said they’re excited to be in the Palme competition, which they win 1991 with Barton Fink, but they’re reluctant to rate their chances of winning.
“All we think about is how to keep the audience engaged,” Ethan said.

Wow, the Coens incredible movie makers versus horrible actor Timberlake. Which prevails here?

There's a good Showtime special tonight which is a live performance of the music from this movie. This may end up being better than the movie. We'll see I suppose. "Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of 'Inside Llewyn Davis"

 

[Abraham]

Most of the reviews say the movie is a nice complement to the music, which is outstanding.

 

[mon]

Saw this yesterday. Really liked it, especially the music. They did a great job of creating a feeling of the era.

GREAT concert film. Still haven't seen the actual movie, is this out on cable yet?

 

[jdoggydogg]

Really want to see this despite some tepid reviews.
