A custom image of the Coen Brothers in front of the 1989 Bat symbol
The Big Picture It's surprising to know that the Coen Brothers, one of the most prolific and critically successful filmmaking duos of our time, had the opportunity to be at the helm for 1989's Batman. What's even more unexpected is their decision to reject it, and opt to make two of their own films instead, namely Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink. Due to the popularity of their second film, Raising Arizona, Warner Bros. offered them the film on a silver platter.
Release Date June 23, 1989 Director Tim Burton Cast Michael Keaton , Jack Nicholson , Kim Basinger , Robert Wuhl , Pat Hingle , Billy Dee Williams Runtime 126 minutes Main Genre Action Writers Bob Kane , Sam Hamm , Warren Skaaren Expand How the Coen Brothers Got Their Start in Hollywood The 1980s were full of significant discoveries, from test tube babies to the wreckage of the Titanic.
Blood Simple, a neo-noir filled with horror movie gusto, announced their arrival. While it initially received scathing reviews from critics, a significant group of movie lovers marveled at the crisp brushstrokes of a neophyte director in Joel Cohen. Of course, praise should also be extended to Ethan, given that according to the man himself, his solitary place as the primary filmmaker in the film's credits is "purely cosmetic.
As a matter of fact, this individuality that they protect is evident in their other productions. Bergan adds that Carter Burwell, their music composer, mentioned that the Coens' objective in each of their films was to entertain themselves rather than finding which parts would connect with the audience. It doesn't matter if audiences or critics would hate their work — as long as their work suited their liking, it was good to go.
