Seth Rogen names his four favourite movies of all time: “It ebbs and flows”
Good picks.
Coen Brothers Archives: 04/2025
Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon auditioned for ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’: “I was so bad”
It could have catapulted him to Hollywood.
The only superhero movie of the Coen brothers’ career: “They were instrumental early on”
Hell, they even cameo in the film
Ryan Reynolds’ disastrous audition for the Coen brothers: “What are you doing here?”
“Do you have a SAG card?”
The Coen brothers classic they didn’t think anyone would watch: “Three people will end up seeing it”
Yes, they were convinced this classic would flop
The idiotic Coen brothers role that Brad Pitt claimed he couldn’t play: “You’ll be fine”
Pitt felt unsure how to play this dolt, but the Coens knew he was the man for the job.
The Coen brothers movie nobody wanted to make: “They almost uniformly hated it”
An unexpected success.
The one movie the Coen brothers plagiarised for 25 years: “The only film we rip off left and right”
At least it wasn’t obvious.
The character the Coen brothers admitted they gave the wrong name: “We fucked up”
Weird thing to obsess over.
The A-list star George Clooney cut out of a Coen brothers movie: “I had to write him this awful note”
Clooney knew this pain all too well but still had to inflict it on someone else.
Why the Coen brothers made 15 movies with someone who doesn’t exist: “We thought it would be poor taste”
This longtime collaborator is a bit, well, fictional.
