In case you've been kept in the dark about Joel and Ethan Coen's HAIL, CAESAR!, the film tells the story of a Hollywood fixer (Josh Brolin) in the 1950s who works to keep a studio's stars in line. The cast is absolutely massive, featuring the likes of Scarlett Johansson, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Channing Tatum, Clancy Brown, Jonah Hill and of course, George Clooney (to name a few). Filming is already underway and what we have here are a few pictures of Clooney rocking his best Julius Caesar.
Et tu, period sandals?
There's a few more pictures of Clooney in the same period clothing here. Frankly, I could watch the Coen brothers direct westerns like NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN and TRUE GRIT until the cows come home, but any film they take part in does a pretty good job of featuring their off-kilter brand of humor. With a cast this large, it's a wonder they can keep them all in check, although that does mirror the story of the film quite nicely. Generally movies about making movies don't do much for me, but I have a feeling the Coens have some special on their hands with this one. Too bad we have more than a year to wait until we see what it is!
HAIL, CAESAR! will arrive in theaters on February 5, 2016.
