The Coen's have set their sights on Into the Blue's Josh Brolin to become a little bit country.
Josh Brolin for No Country for Old Men
According to Variety, Joel and Ethan Coen have picked up Josh Brolin to join Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men.
Miramax and Paramount Classics have teamed up to deliver the pic with Scott Rudin producing. The story is based on the novel from author Cormac McCarthy, which takes place in West Texas during 1980.
Brolin will play a Vietnam vet who works in the Texas plains and scoops up a bundle of cash he finds at the scene of a drug deal gone bad.
Filming for No Country for Old Men is expected to begin late spring.
Josh Brolin just wrapped the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino pic Grind House for Dimension, and is now set to star in the Karen Moncrieff-directed indie The Dead Girl.
Scott Rudin will work with Paramount Classics on both Country and There Will Be Blood, an adaptation of the Upton Sinclair novel Oil!.
