Filming begins late spring. Pic is a co-production between Miramax and Paramount Classics.
Scott Rudin is producing with Ethan Coen. The Coens adapted the novel, which is set in West Texas in 1980.
Brolin will play a Vietnam vet who works in the Texas plains and scoops up a bundle of cash he finds at the scene of a drug deal gone bad.
Jones and Bardem were circling when the studios joined forces (Daily Variety, Feb. 2, 2006).
Brolin just wrapped the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino pic "Grind House" for Dimension, and moves into the Karen Moncrieff-directed indie "The Dead Girl."
Pic is one of two Rudin-produced dramas being made by John Lesher's Par-based classics division and Miramax's Daniel Battsek. They're also aligned for "There Will Be Blood," an adaptation of the Upton Sinclair novel "Oil!" for director Paul Thomas Anderson.
