Drive-Away Dolls Trailer

“They know we have their stuff. Maybe we send it back?” Focus Features has unveiled an official trailer for a crime caper comedy called Drive-Away Dolls, the second feature film directed independently by Ethan Coen after the Coen Brothers split up and decided to start making films on their own. It’s set to open in select theaters this September, though no other premieres have been set yet (perhaps Telluride? Toronto?). Margaret Qualley stars as Jamie, who regrets her recent breakup with her girlfriend, while Marian needs to relax. In search of a fresh start they both embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals. The excellent ensemble cast includes Geraldine Viswanathan as Marian, Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp, Beanie Feldstein, Annie Gonzalez, and Joey Slotnick. Oh this looks damn good! One of these funky crime comedies we haven’t seen for a while. It’s clever and funny, full of tons of kooky characters. I’m all in. // Continue Reading ›
