Annapurna Nabs Noir Western ‘The Sisters Brothers’ with Joaquin Phoenix, Jake Gyllenhaal

Quote:

Annapurna Pictures has come aboard to co-produce and co-finance the upcoming noir Western The Sisters Brothers, which marks the English-language debut of A Prophet filmmaker Jacques Audiard. Based on the Patrick DeWitt novel of the same name, the film stars John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix as two bothers—Eli and Charlie Sisters—who are hired to kill a prospector who has stolen from their boss in 1851 Oregon. The film also marks a Nightcrawler reunion as Jake Gyllenhaal and Riz Ahmed have supporting roles in what’s shaping up to be one of the most exciting films currently in development.

Having read DeWitt’s novel I can attest this is a perfect fit. The book has Coen Brothers overtones, and it’s equal parts wistful and hilarious, with a biting darkness throughout. The scale is somewhat sweeping, with unforgettable characters and a strong emotional and thematic hook. If Audiard is able to capture even 60% of that from the book, we should be in for something interesting. Throw in this tremendous cast and Annapurna, and you’ve got yourself a winner.

Filming on The Sisters Brothers begins this summer, and this marks yet another exciting move for Annapurna. Led by Megan Ellison, the studio first made a name for itself with films like The Master and Zero Dark Thirty, and has recently been branching out with projects like Sausage Party, Her, and Everybody Wants Some!!. The studio has now launched a distribution arm, kicking off with Kathryn Bigelow’s highly anticipated Detroit later this year, and they’re also behind Richard Linklater’s next film Where’d You Go Bernadette?

That cast tho...

Monterey Jack · 05-20-2017, 04:13 AM

Title change coming in three...two...one...

jabbercash · 05-20-2017, 06:04 AM

This sounds amazing! Can't wait.

ArrestedDevelopment · 05-20-2017, 06:08 AM

Such a clunky title.

esteban² · 05-20-2017, 03:03 PM

Promising project. Or interesting at least.

Hoke Moseley · 05-20-2017, 03:30 PM

You had me at Jacques Audiard. Heard about this a bit ago, glad it's moving forward.

AaronJ · 05-20-2017, 03:57 PM

Wow.

I'm honestly having trouble coming up with anything else to say.

Cremildo · 05-20-2017, 05:44 PM

I glanced at the thread title a few times today and didn't bother to click because it seemed to be about some silly comedy - until I remembered Audiard's upcoming project. IMO they should change the title of the movie despite being based on a novel.

Mrdamron · 05-20-2017, 09:02 PM

Very cool, loved the book and can't wait to hear these guys spit such darkly hilarious dialogue.

tob · 05-20-2017, 09:27 PM

Sounds interesting.

Foggy · 05-22-2017, 06:09 AM

Jacques Audiard and that cast...everyone should have their eyes peeled on this one.

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssss ssssssssss.

Interesting direction with this one. Seems more comedy than his previous work. I'm all eyes/ears for anything Audiard does though.

imsounoriginal · 05-24-2018, 02:07 PM

Somehow didn't realize this is gonna be a western. Looks good, great cast.

Was the title something different before? Or have you guys been referring to "The Sisters Brothers" as being clunky and needing changed? I see 0 issue with the title at all. Especially given how much they say it in the film itself.

jacobsever · 05-24-2018, 02:34 PM

This movie just jumped to my most anticipated of 2018. Looks absolutely perfect.

It was always The Sisters Brothers.

I agree with you... great title and it definitely makes sense for the movie.

Cremildo · 05-24-2018, 02:44 PM

I had absolutely no idea it was supposed to be comedic.

KID_Q · 05-24-2018, 03:38 PM

That was a good trailer. Rarely does just one trailer pique my interested so greatly. Definitely one of my most anticipated for the year.
