PITTSBURGH — The next solo Coen brother outing is going to be setting up shop around western Pennsylvania next month.
Pittsburgh Film Office director Dawn Keezer confirmed to the Post-Gazette Monday that Ethan Coen — who alongside brother Joel has directed cinematic classics like "Fargo," "The Big Lebowski" and "No Country for Old Men" — will be filming a currently untitled road-trip comedy throughout the Pittsburgh region. The film is slated to start production in mid-to-late September, Keezer said.
It was revealed in April that Coen was planning to branch off from Joel for his next project, which is being produced by Focus Features and Working Title Films. Coen will be directing this film, which is based on a script he co-wrote with his wife, Tricia Cooke, in the mid-2000s.
