If the Marvel Phase 3 announcement proved anything it’s that it is never too early to start getting excited over a film coming out in the future. What has fans pumped today is news from Universal that the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar! will be hitting theatres in early 2016. Joel and Ethan Coen are writing/directing/producing the final entry in the Idiot Trilogy films starring George Clooney. Technically this should be the fourth film in the series of loosely tied together projects after O, Brother Where Art Thou?, Intolerable Cruelty and Burn After Reading, but it would be easy enough to ignore Intolerable Cruelty.
While February 5th, 2016 seems like a long wait, the film is likely to debut at a number of film festivals (Venice/Telluride/Toronto) before then. Certainly not making that wait any easier is that the spectacular cast of Hail, Caesar! along with George Clooney includes Josh Brolin, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill.
Four-time Oscar®-winning filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men, True Grit,Fargo) write and direct HAIL, CAESAR!, an all-star comedy set during the latter years of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Starring Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill, HAIL, CAESAR! follows a single day in the life of a studio fixer who is presented with plenty of problems to fix. The comedy is produced by the Coen brothers under their Mike Zoss Productions banner, with Working Title Films and Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan.
