Last year, it was announced that the Coen Brothers would be making a new series for Netflix called The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. The project was announced in August as an anthology series set in the Old West, and given the Coens’ experience in the genre, it made a lot of sense.

But, it looks like things have changed quite a bit since we last heard about the project. Yes, the Coen Brothers will still be involved, and yes, it still will be airing on Netflix, but there is one key difference. Instead of being a TV show, it will now be a feature film — one that will reportedly still retain its anthology structure.

What’s more is that it will be making its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

“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.”

The Ballad of Buster Scruggs is set to hit the streaming service by the end of the year, and will even have a theatrical release, in hopes of getting Oscar consideration.
