Liam Neeson and Brendan Gleeson to star in Coen Brothers' Ballad Of Buster Scruggs

Liam Neeson and Brendan Gleeson will star in the Coen Brothers' six-part Netflix miniseries, The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs.

The series, which is currently filming in New Mexico, is the Coens' first foray into streaming and was announced in August of last year with Tim Blake Nelson as the titular character. Liam Neeson told entertainment.ie exclusively that he's currently filming his role with fellow Irish actor Brendan Gleeson, and revealed that he's growing out his facial hair for the role.

Oscar-winning directors Joel and Ethan Coen will be riding into the Oscar season this fall with a new film that began life as an anthology series.

Last year, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs” was announced as a Netflix original series that would feature six tales about the American frontier. The project has since morphed into a feature film, though one maintaining a chaptered anthology structure. It’s set for a world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival, which has really taken off in recent years as the annual awards season starting gun, before releasing later this year.

“We’ve always loved anthology movies, especially those films made in Italy in the Sixties which set side-by-side the work of different directors on a common theme,” the Coens said in a statement. “Having written an anthology of Western stories we attempted to do the same, hoping to enlist the best directors working today. It was our great fortune that they both agreed to participate.”
