This is the kind of double act that film buffs construct
entire fantasy worlds around. On one hand, we have filmmaking maestro Steven
Spielberg, the man who helped define cinema as it stands today. He is the
reason why the word 'blockbuster' exists in Hollywood. On the other hand, we
have the Coen brothers, whose captivating and poignant stories have gone to
dominate both the underground and the mainstream. Hell, how many filmmakers do
you know of whose works have inspired an entire religion around them? But you
know the saying about what the road to Hell was built on; just because you have
two great tastes doesn’t automatically mean you’re on the verge of the next
Reese’s. But, out of respect for three legends of the craft, I will hope and
pray at the altar of Welles that this all pans out for the best.
