Following a disappointing turn in the underwhelming OLD BOY remake, Josh Brolin will return to his NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN writer/ directors The Coen Brothers for their next film, HAIL CAESAR, opposite the already cast George Clooney. Variety broke the news late yesterday about Brolin’s casting the film, which revolves around a Hollywood fixer in the 1950s working to keep a studio’s stars in line.
The film is being produced by Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan over at Working Title Films, and Universal Pictures will distribute around the world.
The HAIL CAESAR element supposedly refers to a Roman production set-up within the film.
Great to see Brolin back with the Coens, and also the mighty Clooney. HAIL CAESAR will be his fourth collaboration with the duo, following O’ BROTHER WHERE ART THOU, INTOLERABLE CRUELTY, and BURN AFTER READING. Shooting kicks off later in the year.
