Ross Geller Auditions for the Coen Brothers - Details on their next movie!

Late last year, for instance, Schwimmer walked into a room and read for the Coen brothers, who were looking to cast the lead for their upcoming film, “A Serious Man,” which the Coens recently told The Times is “about a Jewish community in the Midwest in the 1960s.” Schwimmer read for the lead, a college professor named Larry. The project felt to Schwimmer like a Bernard Malamud novel meets, well, the Coen brothers. “I think I knocked it out,” he said with a chuckle, talking about the audition last week over coffee at Bazzini, a gourmet market in TriBeCa, not far from Schwimmer’s New York residence. Schwimmer doesn’t know if he’ll be cast in “A Serious Man,” but the audition alone still meant something significant to him. “Part of it was just being able to be in the room with two people I absolutely respect and would kill to work with,” Schwimmer said.
