After the black comedy Burn After Reading hits theaters next month the Coen brothers will begin work on A Serious Man and they have cast Richard Kind (best known from “Spin City”) and the Tony-nominated actor Michael Stauhlbarg in the lead roles.
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.
The pic is set to begin filming at the beginning of next month in Minneapolis. Joel and Ethan Coen co-wrote the screenplay.
