As Tricia Cooke‘s lesbian B-movie trilogy continues with its second installment in theaters this month, she’s ready to tackle the concluding chapter.
The writer of Honey Don’t!, which premieres Aug. 22 in theaters, recently teased that the third film in the trilogy that kicked off with last year’s Drive-Away Dolls, will be titled Go Beavers, and she’s in the early stages of development with co-writer, director and husband Ethan Coen.
Cooke told NBC News the movie is about “a crew team who gets together for their reunion, and they start dying off one by one.”
Noting that doesn’t care for horror, Cooke hopes to steer the film in a direction inspired by the 1971 Australian survival film Walkabout. “That film is whoa, psychedelic. What is life? It has a little more depth, so we’re thinking about taking it in that direction,” she explained.
After she Coen revealed that they were making a queer spiritual trilogy that includes both Drive-Away Dolls and Honey Don’t!, star Margaret Qualley teased of the third installment, “I have not read a script and I haven’t been contacted. But let the record show that if I’m not in [the third film], I will be offended and I will be upset.”
Following her performances as southern womanizer Jamie in Drive-Away Dolls and fearless private detective Honey O’Donahue in Honey Don’t!, Qualley said working with the couple behind the films has been “unlike anything else I’ve ever known. They respect and love each other so much. I love the world that they’re living in.”
In Honey Don’t!, the titular PI in Bakersfield, California, investigates the death of a woman with ties to a religious cult. Qualley stars alongside Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans and Charlie Day.
