The Coen brothers’ upcoming film Hail, Caesar! won’t be released until February of next year, but the brothers might have their next movie in mind already; with an adaptation of Ross MacDonald’s crime novel Black Money.
Black Money is the 13th novel in MacDonald’s Lew Archer series, and it follows Lew as he is hired to investigate a man who ran off with his client’s lover. The search takes him into the highs and lows of California; from the seedy, luxurious hotels to the homeless underground. It sounds like the Coen brothers will find themselves at home in a film like this.
According to Deadline, the brothers have been enlisted to adapt the script for Warner Bros., with Joel Silver (The Matrix) on board to produce.
