Coen Brothers cast 'Serious' leads for new film

Hot on the heels of their soon-to-be-released black comedy, Burn After Reading, the Coen Brothers have already announced yet another black comedy.

A Serious Man is a period black comedy set in 1967. The story centers on Larry Gopnik (Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor whose life begins to unravel when his wife sets out to leave him and his socially inept brother (Kind) won't move out of the house.


Sounds suspiciously like Step Brothers, but knowing the Coen Brothers, it should be worth watching. They've already cast the leads for the film, Richard Kind of Spin City and Michael Stauhlbarg.
