Film Weekly: the Coen brothers

Ever since it debuted at Cannes way back in the summer, No Country For Old Men has been one of those films with so much buzz surrounding it that it's almost possible to forget that it hasn't actually hit cinemas yet. This week's issue of Film Weekly features an extended interview with the Coen brothers, the sibling team behind the critical smash of the (admittedly short) year so far, which finally hits the UK tomorrow.

The brothers chat about their reasons for adapting Cormac McCarthy's rugged, west Texas-set tale of a determined chancer (Josh Brolin) who finds himself in possession of a suitcase full of $2m and only Javier Bardem's force-of-nature villain between him and keeping it. And there's also a quick word with Bardem himself.

Also this week, there's an interview with Martin Freeman, star of the Office and newly-released movie The Good Night. Freeman plays a former pop star suffering a mid-life crisis who finds himself dreaming about the same mystery girl each night, until one day he sees her face plastered on the side of a bus.
