“Save the sanctimony, and hand over the million smackers.” Focus Features has unveiled the second trailer for the crime caper comedy Drive-Away Dolls, the second feature film directed solo by Ethan Coen after the Coen Brothers split to make their own work. It’s now set to open in theaters late in February. Margaret Qualley stars as Jamie, a young woman who regrets her recent breakup with her girlfriend, while her friend Marian, played by Geraldine Viswanathan, needs to relax. In search of a fresh start they both embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals. The sizzling ensemble cast also has Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp, Beanie Feldstein, Annie Gonzalez, and Joey Slotnick. The first trailer debuted last year, when this was originally set to open in September. It was delayed due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, and is now rescheduled to launch in February. Will it fair better now? I doubt it… Looks like a damn good film though.

Here’s the second trailer (+ new poster) for Ethan Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls, from Focus’ YouTube:

This comedy caper follows Jamie (Margaret Qualley), an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian who desperately needs to loosen up. In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, Florida, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way. Drive-Away Dolls is directed by acclaimed American filmmaker Ethan Coen, formerly one half of the Coen Brothers now working solo, director (by himself) of the doc film Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind previously. He also co-directed many films with his brother including A Serious Man, True Grit, Inside Llewyn Davis, Hail Caesar!, and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs most recently. The screenplay is written by Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke. It’s produced by Tim Bevan, Ethan Coen, Tricia Cooke, Eric Fellner, and Robert Graf. This hasn’t been set to premiere at any festivals or elsewhere yet – stay tuned. Focus Features will debut Coen’s Drive-Away Dolls in select US theaters starting February 23rd, 2024 (after a delay from 2023). Who’s planning to watch?
