Honey Don't Fun Facts:
Part of a Trilogy:
Honey Don't! is the follow-up movie in the series that director Ethan Coen and co-writer Tricia Cooke refer to as their "lesbian B-movie trilogy." The initial film was 2024's Drive-Away Dolls, and there are plans for a third installment titled Go Beavers.
A "Non-Traditional" Collaboration:
The movie is written and edited together by the husband-and-wife team of Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke. Cooke, who is openly lesbian and bisexual, and Coen, who is straight, have referred to their relationship as "non-traditional," as both have partners outside their marriage. This special arrangement is said to have an impact on their creative work.
Returning Cast:
Margaret Qualley, featuring in the initial movie of the trilogy, Drive-Away Dolls, reprises her role in Honey Don't! as the main character, Honey O'Donahue.
Sleazy Roles:
Chris Evans takes on an unexpected character as Reverend Drew, a charming yet sleazy church leader. This is quite different from his usual heroic roles!
Filmed in California:
The movie is filmed in Bakersfield, California, which aims to capture classic contemporary Western themes mixed with the elements of dark comedy.
