The initial trailer for Ethan Coen's "Honey Don't" features Margaret Qualley looking into Chris Evans.

      After last year's unnoticed "Drive-Away Dolls," Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke are returning with a new comedy that pays tribute to neo-noir. "Honey Don’t," featuring Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, Billy Eichner, and Chris Evans, centers on Honey O’Donahue, a small-town private investigator who investigates a series of bizarre deaths linked to a mysterious church. With a premiere at Cannes and an August 22 release date approaching, Focus Features has just released the first trailer.

      “Over the last two decades, we’ve been working on this lesbian B movie trilogy,” Cooke mentioned to Collider a few years ago. “It’s not really a trilogy, but we aimed to write three queer B movies that I always thought would merely remain in a drawer for our kids to discover and chuckle at one day when they’re older. And now we’ve completed one of them.”

      “And we’ve also written another one,” Coen remarked, referring to "Honey Don’t." “The issue with writing two is that it creates an obligation to create a third since no one just makes two. You have to have a trilogy.”
