News: Tommy Lee Jones

Tommy Lee Jones, on good bad guy form in this week’s final film for tip-top director Robert Altman, A Prairie Home Companion, should be back on our screens at some point later this year in the Coen brothers’ next outing, No Country for Old Men. With a plot revolving around the discovery of some dead bodies, drugs and a big pile of cash, here’s hoping it’s a return to form for the duo, whose last couple of outings have been decidedly sub-par, considering the genius of their earlier films. After that, Jones will take the lead as a career military man trying to find out what’s happened to his son, AWOL after returning from Iraq, in the topical and potentially controversial In the Valley of Elah from Crash writer/director Paul Haggis.
