Acclaimed US filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen are awarded the 18th Lumiere Prize in Lyon, in recognition of their contribution to cinema over the past four decades.  The brothers said that they plan to make another movie together, having taken a break from their joint directing work that produced a string of classics from "Fargo" to "Barton Fink".

Both of them have latterly turned to personal projects, working with their wives, film editor Tricia Cooke and actress Frances McDorm and on movies such as "Honey Don't" and "The Tragedy of Macbeth". But they said they planned to reunite soon behind the camera, joking that it had to come soon because of their advancing ages.
