Showtime Will Broadcast 'Inside Llewyn Davis' Concert

The new film from Joel and Ethan Coen is Inside Llewyn Davis, which stars Oscar Isaac as a singer/songwriter who finds his way through the folk music scene in Greenwich Village in the early '60s. As happened with the Coens' O Brother Where Art Thou?, which also featured a strong musical component, the music from the film is hitting a real-life stage. In this case, the Inside Llewyn Davis tunes will be brought to life in a benefit concert called Another Day, Another Time: Celebrating the Music of Inside Llewyn Davis.

The concert takes place this coming Sunday, and since most of you won't be able to attend (because you'll be home watching Breaking Bad, I expect) Showtime has done everyone a solid and made a deal to broadcast the show. There won't even be a conflict with the Breaking Bad finale. Since Inside Llewyn Davis doesn't open until December 6, Showtime will wait to broadcast the concert until December 13.
