Evans will play the leader of a cult in the film, although no other details about the story have been released at this time.
No story details have been revealed for the project, although it is said to have the same “pulpy flavor” as Drive-Away Dolls.
The story is set in Bakersfield, California, and production is expected to begin in New Mexico in March.
Coen and Cooke are once again working with Focus Features, the company that distributes Drive-Away Dolls, for the project.
The directors also work from their own script and produce alongside Working Title’s Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner and Robert Graf.
Qualley can currently be seen in the drama Poor Things, which was nominated for 11 Oscars, including Best Picture.
She also recently opened up about starring in and directing her husband Jack Antonoff’s new song Tiny Moves, and admitted she was high while filming it.
‘I’ve never said anything publicly about that. But it was cold and I had to dance and stay loose and warm,” she said Interview magazine.
Antonoff added that the shoot started at 7:00 PM and did not end until 5:00 AM the next morning.
‘It was just wild and everyone was shouting and trying to shoot. And we were drinking too. And we were high,” he said.

Jack added: “The shoot was beautiful and romantic, but there was also like, people were drunk, high and chasing, which is the opposite of chasing the sun. Chasing the night, holding on to the night.”
Margaret told Vogue about the music video: “It was above all a love letter to Jack.”
“We made this a few weeks before we got married, and I thought this would be something I might want to show the kids one day.”
Margaret recently admitted in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar that she isn’t quite ready for children yet, but would love to have them with Jack.
