Hail, Caesar!

[projekktor id=’22971′]

Hail, Caesar! is an old-Hollywood comedy written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen (No Country for Old Men, Fargo). The film, which has been selected to open the 66th Berlin International Film Festival, stars Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, Scarlett Johansson, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton, and Channing Tatum.

When the world’s biggest star vanishes and his captors demand an enormous ransom for his safe return, it will take the power of Hollywood’s biggest names to solve the mystery of his disappearance. Bringing the audience along for a comic whodunit that pulls back the curtain and showcases the unexpected humor and industry drama found behind the scenes, Hail, Caesar! marks the Coens at their most inventive.

Clooney expresses utter respect for the Coen brothers saying, “If you look at the history of filmmaking, if you look at the greatest directors of all time, none of them were making their best films 30 years into their career. They generally made them in their early days or in the middle of their careers. But these guys are still making unbelievably great films. They will go down in the history books as among the great filmmakers.”

Hail, Caesar! is rated PG.
