It’s the Debut Trailer for the Coen Brothers’ Latest ‘The Ballad of Buster Scruggs’ (VIDEO)

Though their last film—2016's Hail Caesar—wasn't exactly another home run, The Coen Brothers always manage to draw interest to their films thanks to their uniqueness. The Brothers now embark on their first film for Netflix with The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, set to debut on the streaming platform in November.

Originally envisioned as a six-part miniseries, the material has been condensed into a single film following the character of Buster Scruggs (O Brother's Tim Blake Nelson) as he interacts with a number of supremely strange characters in their latest Western. It's funny that my biggest gripe with Hail Caesar is that it felt like it should have been expanded into a much longer miniseries type thing as every storyline got short shrift in a two hour movie.

I can't imagine this film, which actually began life as a miniseries, is going to overcome that same issue. However, if anyone can make it work, it's The Coen Brothers. Check out the synopses for each segment of the film below, and tune in when The Ballad of Buster Scruggs debuts on Netflix and in select theaters on November 16.
