The Ladykillers

Post by Keverian FireCry »

Coen Brothers strike again with a remake of a great comedy from 1955.

Starring:
Tom Hanks
Marlon Wayans

Watch the trailer! Omg I can't wait :D




Oh...If you aren't familiar with the Coen Brothers, you should be ashamed :P . They are the creators of Fargo, Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowsky, O' Brother Where Art Tho, and a handful of other, brilliant movies.

Excellent! :D I am a huge Cohen fan!

NOTE: Not just due their amazing flicks, but they both are tied with Raimi/Campbell, and that rocks! :P

I'm a huge Coen bros. fan (from Barton Fink and on), but my <3 for them doesn't quite balance out my HUGE FUCKING HATE for any Wayans brother.

Why those guys have any kind of career outside of trash collecting - excuse me, waste management - is beyond my comprehension.



Edit: no h brainfart

Hey I don't like them much either, but he is just a supporting role. I think the reason they suck so much is because of the writers behind the roles the wayans brothers play. With the Coen(there's no "h" btw) brothers doing the writing and directing I think he won't be too bothersome. I didn't think Marlon Wayans hurt Requiem for Dream, for instance. It wasn't a uber acting job, but it didn't stand out as something that hurt the film.

Also, I don't think his role in the film will be bigger than other members of the group of criminals under Tom Hanks, but I think he gets a lot of time in the trailer because he is familiar, compared to, Tzi Ma or Ryan Hurst, whom of course noone recognizes by name.

I have misspelled their name for years now! :D

Anyway, I am very much looking forward to this movie, Wayans or no.
