Good news for Coen Brothers fans - hot on the heels of Burn After Reading (which itself was pretty hot on the heels of No Country For Old Men), the Coens are already shooting their next film, A Serious Man. There are no big stars lined up for this one (the lead is played by Adam Arkin, son of Alan Arkin - you may remember him from the hospital drama Chicago Hope), and it's supposedly going to be another black comedy (i think you could argue that most of their films are black comedies, so that doesn't really tell you much). From early reports, it seems the film is set in Minnesota in the late 60s, and tells the story of a Jewish Professor (the 'Serious Man'?) whose life is compicated (and presumably made laughable) by his surrounding friends, family and work life. Apparently the film is, in part, based on the Coen Brothers' childhood years, and fans will be pleased to hear that cinematographer Roger Deakins is again working with the brothers on the movie. It's set for release in 2009...i'm looking forward to it already.

Some scenes we're filmed at the Normandale Community College (which was name dropped in "Fargo"). Were I teach. The production crew were very nice and generous with their time interacting with faculty when possible
