SANTA FE — New Mexico Film Office Director Amber Dodson has announced that the feature film “Honey Don’t!” will begin filming in and around Albuquerque through May.

The production will employ more than 600 New Mexicans – 150 crew members, 15 principal actors and 450 background talent. “Honey Don’t!” will star Margaret Qualley (“Maid”), Aubrey Plaza (“The White Lotus”), and Chris Evans (“Avengers,” “Ghosted”) as they tell the story of a detective investigating the death of a young woman and its connection to a mysterious church.

The film is directed by Ethan Coen (“No Country for Old Men”) and produced by Coen, Robert Graf, Tricia Cooke, Eric Fellner, and Tim Bevan.

“New Mexico holds a special place with the producers, and we’re ecstatic to film our fifth feature here,” Graf said.

“Ethan Coen and the team have filmed several of their movies in New Mexico, including ‘O Brother,’ ‘Where Art Thou?’ and ‘Burn After Reading,’” Dodson said. “Drawn to the state’s competitive incentives, unique landscapes, and skilled crews, acclaimed films such as these create high-paying jobs for residents, support local businesses, and market New Mexico as a premier production hub to worldwide audiences.”
