Adam Arkin joins Coen's A SERIOUS MAN

Another t.v. actor in the currently filming Coen Brothers black comedy.

by Matt Holmes

Matt here, T.V. regular Adam Arkin has joined A Serious Man, the currently filming in Minnesota black comedy from the Coen Brothers whose Burn After Reading is released in the U.S. today. The Coen's original film follows a Midwestern professor (Mark Sthulbarg) who watches his life unravel when his wife vows to leave him because his inept brother (Richard Kind) won't move out of the house. Yes, it's the Coens going with recognisable t.v. actors instead of the usual A-list type stars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones etc. As always, the Coens are impossible to predict! Discuss: A low profile Coen Brothers movie with C-list actors, does it interest you? Does a comedy like Burn After Reading interest you or are you disappointed they didn't follow up No Country For Old Men with a similar sized epic?
