Cohen Brother's to adapt Chabon's "The Yiddish Policemen's Union"

category: News, Hollywood

The Cohen Brother's are going to be adapting Michael Chabon's novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, for their next film. Here's a synopsis from Variety:

"Chabon sets up a contemporary scenario where Jewish settlers are about to be displaced by U.S. government's plans to turn the frozen locale of Sitka, Alaska, over to Alaskan natives. Against this backdrop is a noir-style murder mystery in which a rogue cop investigates the killing of a heroin-addicted chess prodigy who might be the messiah."


Looks like it's right up the Cohen's alley. I'll be looking forward to this.
