The Coen Brothers next film will be an adaptation of Micheal Chabon's "Yiddish Policemen's Union."

In the book, Chabon follows a group of Jewish settlers who are about to be displaced by U.S. government's plans to turn the frozen locale of Sitka, Alaska, over to Alaskan natives.

The book is a noir-style murder mystery with a rogue cop investigating the murder of a heroin-addicted chess prodigy

The Frank Frazetta fest continues at Golden Age Comic Book Stories. The blog has been sharing some fabulously illustrated romance stories Frazetta did back in the 1950s. Gorgeous stuff.

TV Guide talks to "Lost" producer Carlton Cuse about his plans for the show now that the writers strike is over.

What came out of your meeting with ABC today?
Cuse: Damon [Lindelof] and I are going to try to make five more episodes before the end of May, which is ambitious. But we've found ourselves in a situation where we had eight episodes of story planned, and we're going to try to fit that into five hours of the show. Even though it's going to be very hard to execute, we felt like any less would be doing a disservice to the story we had planned. We really want to give the fans the best possible experience and ending... to Season 4.

Any chance that the first of the five episodes will air the week after that last pre-strike episode — thus eliminating any scheduling gap?
Cuse: No, there's probably going to be four weeks between the airing of the first batch of episodes and our new episodes.

What will happen to the three "lost" episodes? Will they roll over into next season's 16, or will they vanish forever?
Cuse: Damon and I remain committed to producing the 40 additional hours of the show that we promised. We haven't figured out exactly when we'll put those other three on, but we're not eliminating them from the show. You will get those three episodes downstream.
