Described as a “comedy caper,” Drive-Away Dolls is co-written by Coen and wife Tricia Cooke. The film is Coen’s solo directorial debut, marking the first film he’s directed without brother Joel Coen. As a duo, the Coen brothers have directed several Academy Award-winning films, including 2008 Best Picture winner No Country for Old Men, for which they also jointly won the Oscar for Best Director.

Drive-Away Dolls is set to be released in theaters in September.

No stranger to queer and queer-adjacent roles, Pascal had his breakout role playing bisexual lord Oberyn Martell on HBO’s Game of Thrones. More recently, he’s become both a household name and social media’s hot dad of the moment thanks to his role on HBO’s acclaimed queer-inclusive zombie apocalypse series The Last of Us. He’s also set to star as a queer cowboy opposite Ethan Hawke in out director Pedro Almodóvar’s highly anticipated short film Strange Way of Life.

Off-screen, Pascal has also been a vocal advocate of LGBTQ+ rights and representation. He has frequently discussed his support for his sister, transgender actress and activist Lux Pascal.
