'Drive-Away Dolls' is more gritty-looking than Ethan's movies with Joel Coen

Scripts of all kinds sit in the drawers of Ethan Coen's home, some to be returned to, some forever abandoned. One script that sat dormant for many years was a screenplay Coen wrote not with his brother, but Tricia Cooke, Coen's wife and an editor of many of the Coens' best films. Penned around 2002, the project was shopped years ago with Allison Anders to direct and, at various points, had actors including Holly Hunter, Christina Applegate, Chloë Sevigny and Selma Blair attached. But the financing never came through. Into a drawer Drive-Away Dykes went.
