As I reported, exclusively, last December, Ethan Coen is directing another film after “Drive-Away Dolls,” this one is titled “Honey Don’t” which is the second one of a planned Lesbian B-movie trilogy that he and his partner/wife, Tricia Cooke, are co-writing and co-directing.
Production has officially started on “Honey Don’t” in California. The cast for this latest one, which is said to be a detective noir, will be composed of Aubrey Plaza, Margaret Qualley and Chris Evans.
“Drive Away Dolls,” for all the middling reviews it’s gotten, was a kooky good time — lots of over-the-top sex, violence and humor. It all felt like an entertaining tribute to b-movies, zany road trips, with a very retro vibe and absurdly quick pace (84 minutes).
There are Coen-esque flairs here and there, but it was goofier and more straight-shooting than most of Joel and Ethan’s comedies. Hopefully, after “Honey Don’t”, Ethan can go back to teaming up with his brother Joel on their next project which he’s described as a “very bloody horror film”.
