Joel Coen revealed as much at the 15th anniversary reunion. “It started as a 'three saps on the run' kind of movie, and then at a certain point we looked at each other and said, 'You know, they're trying to get home—let's just say this is The Odyssey. We were thinking of it more as The Wizard of Oz. We wanted the tag on the movie to be: 'There's No...
Tim Blake Nelsonread it twice while attending Brown University. Before they asked him to play Delmar, the Coens sent Nelson the script and asked him for advice. The two used the comic book versionof Homer’s epic when writing their script.
Sullivan’s Travels (1941) was a Hollywood satire about a comedy director who wanted to make a serious, epic drama, travels the country to research it, and discovers the world is better off laughing. The movie the character wanted to make was titled O Brother, Where Art Thou?.
The brothers visited him in Phoenix while he was making Three Kings (1999), wanting to work with him after seeing his performance in Out of Sight (1998). Moments after they put their script on Clooney’s hotel room table, the actor said “Great, I’m in.”
Jack, a Baptist tobacco farmer from a small town in Kentucky, was asked by his nephew to record himself saying Ulysses’s lines. After two months of shooting, the Coens asked why Clooney was saying every line perfectly, but omitting all the “hell”s and “damn”s from the screenplay; Uncle Jack refused to say those words. Jack had never been on a plane...
Throughout the entire shoot, Nelson acted during the day and edited O (2001), the Othelloupdate starring Mekhi Phifer and Julia Stiles he had directed, at night.
J.K. Simmons auditioned for multiple parts, but backed out when the one character the Coens were leaning toward casting him as was too similar to Vernon Schillinger, his racist character from the HBO show Oz.
For the movie's music—and even before they'd finished the script—the Coens turned to musician/producer T Bone Burnett, whom they had worked with on The Big Lebowski in 1998. Along with singer-songwriter Gillian Welch, Burnett found the songs for the movie. Its soundtrack—which combined original and traditional bluegrass, country, gospel, blues, and...
Nelson performed his solo, “In the Jailhouse Now,” live for the movie. Chris Thomas King (who played Tommy Johnson) is an actual musician and used his own voice. Dan Tyminski, Harley Allen, and Pat Enright sang for The Soggy Bottom Boys in “I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow.” Tyminski provided Clooney’s singing voice.
The legend of blues legend Robert Johnson selling his soul to the devil to become a great guitarist is better known than Tommy Johnson’s tale. Rev. Ladell Johnson, Tommy’s brother,believed he had sold his soul to the devil for the same reason.
A notable cover, titled "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow", was recorded by the fictional folk/bluegrass group The Soggy Bottom Boys from the film O Brother, Where Art Thou?. [2] The producer T Bone Burnett had previously suggested the Stanley Brothers' recording as a song for The Dude in the Coen brothers ' film The Big Lebowski , but it did not ...
