Focus Options has slated Ethan Coen‘s dark comedy Honey Don’t! for an August twenty second theatrical launch. The movie stars Margaret Qualley as Honey O’Donahue, a small-town personal investigator who delves right into a sequence of unusual deaths tied to a mysterious church. Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, Charlie Day, and Billy Eichner additionally star within the undertaking.
Honey Don’t! may have its world premiere on the upcoming Cannes Movie Pageant within the Midnight Screenings part. Along with helming the movie, Coen additionally co-wrote the script with Tricia Cooke. Will probably be the second installment of the “lesbian B-movie trilogy,” which started with Coen and Cooke’s Drive-Away Dolls, which additionally starred Qualley.
Whereas talking with i-D, Qualley dropped a couple of particulars about her character, together with that she needed to hit the brakes on her “natural Scooby-Doo” inclinations in order that she would “be slightly extra suave than I’m, extra mysterious. I are likely to need to diffuse issues earlier than they even occur. [Whereas] Honey, she’s like honey — she’s skillful, she’s easy, she is slipping out and in undetected.“
Qualley continued, “No girl needs to be taught how to be a detective. Women know what’s happening even when they don’t know what’s happening. I remember in my early twenties, especially, my investigative skills on Instagram were really out of control. It’s a combination of tools, craft, and gut instinct.” She added that she hasn’t learn a script or been contacted for the ultimate installment of the trilogy, however she made it recognized that if she’s not in it, “I shall be offended and I shall be upset.“
Drive-Away Dolls starred Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as two younger girls who take an surprising highway journey to Tallahassee and cross paths with a gaggle of inept criminals. Sadly, our personal Chris Bumbray didn’t love the film, even saying it was a “bit of a dud” in his assessment. “The only positive thing about Drive Away Dolls is that Qualley and Viswanathan do their best with the material,” Bumbray wrote. “Qualley is tasked with delivering a very over-the-top (Coen-esque) performance as the ‘wacky’ Jamie and certainly seems game. You’ve never seen her like this before, and she deserves kudos for willing to be so ‘out there’ in her performance.” You’ll be able to take a look at the remainder of his assessment proper right here.
