Any new Coen brothers movie is a reason for celebration, whether they are turning back the clock to 1960s Greenwich Village, or lending Steven Spielberg a hand with cold war-era spy shenanigans. Their latest film is Hail, Caesar!, a romp through the depraved and colorful world of Hollywood in the 1950s. It looks a little like Sweet Smell Of Success mixed with (dare we say it) The Big Lebowski, and we can't wait to see it.
Here's the official logline: "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, Jonah Hill and Frances McDormand, Hail, Caesar! follows a single day in the life of a studio fixer who is presented with plenty of problems to fix."
And that description doesn't even mention Dolph Lundgren as a Soviet submarine commander! The Coens have previously called this film the third part of their "Numskull Trilogy," following fellow Clooney-starring films O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty (it's kind of shocking the directors don't consider Burn Before Reading as part of the same lineage, but maybe that's just because it is filled with people even stupider than "numskulls").
This film will be released on Feb. 5th, 2016. Get pumped for it with a little AC/DC below.
