Channing Tatum Gets Golden Age Of Hollywood Gay In Hail, Ceasar! Clips

February 2, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

channing-tatum-hail-caesarBack in the Golden Age Of Hollywood, the Production Code literally meant that you weren’t allowed to mention homosexuality, but filmmakers still found ways to sneak things in. It appears the Coen Brothers are playing with that in their new movie, Hail, Ceasar!, at least if these new clips are anything to go by.

They feature Channing Tatum as movie star Burt Gurney, who’s filming a musical where he has to put up with the fact that at sea, there will be ‘No Dames’. The first clip allows Channing to show off his singing skills, while in the second we get to see that when there are No Dames around, the boys will certainly find things to occupy their time.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘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.’

The film will be in UK cinemas on March 4th. Take a look at the clips below.

New Hail, Caesar! Trailer – Ralph Fiennes wants Alden Ehrenreich to be a better actor in the Coen’s star-studded flick

January 12, 2016 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hail-caesar-quadWhile many had expected the Coen Brothers’ Hail, Caesar! to be making an Oscar run, it’s been slightly pushed back, but it still looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun. If nothing else their look back at the Golden Age of Hollywood has one hell of a cast.

A new trailer has now arrived, which tells us little about the plot, but certainly gives us a feel for quirky tone we can expect.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘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.’

October 9, 2015 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

hail-caesar-pic1For Hail! Caesar! the Coen Brothers have certainly lined up an all-star cast, including Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill and Frances McDormand, and all for a tale of the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘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.

Alden Ehrenreich Up For The Coen Brothers’ Hail Caesar

September 3, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

alden-ehrenreichAlden Ehrenreich is one of those young actors where it feels like they should have broken out bigger, but unfortunately the likes of Beautiful Creatures and Twixt haven’t quite done it for him. Now he’s joining a very starry ensemble, as Variety reports that he’s up for the Coen Brothers’ Hail Caesar.

The likes of George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton, Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill are already onboard for the movie, which is about a 1950s Hollywood fixer called Eddie Mannix, who works for the movie studios to help their major stars from avoiding scandals and to keep their dirty laundry under cover.

As with many of the other actors involved, there’s little info on exactly who Ehrenreich will play. Joel Coen and Ethan Coen are directing from their own original script, with filming expected to begin this autumn.

Scarlett Johansson & Jonah Hill May Hail Caesar! Alongside George Clooney

July 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

SCARLETT-JOHANSSONThe Coen Brothers seems to want to fill every role in their upcoming Hail Caesar with a well-known face, as they’ve already got the likes of George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton, and now Variety reports that Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill are in talks to join them.

The 1950s set story is about a Hollywood fixer called Eddie Mannix, who works for the movie studios to help their major stars from avoiding scandals and to keep their dirty laundry under cover.

It’s now known who Jonah Hill will play, but Scarlett Johansson is playing an actress who becomes pregnant just before her latest film is about to start production. It works out as good timing for the actress, as she is pregnant herself, but as with several of the other roles in Hail Caesar!, it’s a relatively small part, so she’ll have plenty of time to complete it before she’s due to give birth.

Shooting on Hail Caesar! is set to start in a couple of months time.

Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes & Tilda Swinton Will Hail, Caesar! Alongside George Clooney

June 24, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Channing-TatumThe Coen Brothers are going for star power with their upcoming Hail Caesar!, as they already George Clooney and Josh Brolin attached, and now THR reports they’re set to be joined by Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes and Tilda Swinton.

The film is about Eddie Mannix, a 1950s fixer who works for major Hollywood studios. His job is to try and keep the movie stars in line and also cover up their indiscretions.

Tatum will be ‘a Gene Kelly-type star while Fiennes would play Laurence Lorenz, a studio director, and Swinton will portray a powerful Hollywood gossip columnist’ It’s still now 100% who George Clooney and Josh Brolin are portraying at this time, although it’s believed Clooney will be Mannix.

Many of the Coens’ earlier movies harked back to Hollywood’s Golden Age and this would appear to be a return to their love of Tinsel Town in the 40s and 50s. It’s also suggested there are plenty more colourful characters in the script the Coens can find some great actors to play.

Josh Brolin Up To Join George Clooney In The Coen Brothers’ Hail Caesar

June 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

josh-brolinThe Coen Brothers are following their pattern of making a small idiosyncratic movie with a more mainstream effort, as after Inside Llewyn Davis they’re putting together Hail Caesar. It already has George Clooney attached and now Deadline reports that Josh Brolin will join him.

The film is about Eddie Mannix, a 1950s fixer who works for major Hollywood studios. His job is to try and keep the movie stars in line and also cover up their indicretions. It isn’t clear who George Clooney and Josh Brolin are portraying at this time.

Joel and Ethan Coen are set to direct from their own script.

Inside Llewyn Davis (Blu-ray Review)

May 27, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake
Director: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen
Running Time: 104 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: May 26th 2014 (UK)

It just goes to show how useful it is to have a ‘name’ in the film world. If most filmmakers had said they wanted to make a movie about a misanthropic 1960s folk singer who spends the first 25 minutes of the film trying to get a cat back to its owner, they’d have been laughed out of the room. However the Coen Brothers have the sort of clout that can get things done.

And while not one of their best, Inside Llewyn Davis is not a bad movie at all. [Read more…]

New Inside Llewyn Davis Trailer – Fresh look at the Coen Brothers’ new movie

August 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


If they’d stuck to the original plan, Inside Llewyn Davis would have already been and gone from cinemas, but it was pushed back to a Christmas US release in the hope of getting some awards recognition. Now we get a new taste of the Coen Brothers’ film with a new trailer.

Oscar Isaac stars as the title character, a folk singer making his way through the Greenwich Village music scene in the 1960s. The movie is loosely based on the life of folk singer Dave Van Ronk. Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, Gerrett Hedlund, and John Goodman also star.

It certainly looks stylish, with plenty of the Coens’ trademark sharp dialogue, although it’s definitely one of their more idiosyncratic efforts. The film will be out in US on December 20th, with a January 2014 opening set for the UK. [Read more…]

New Inside Llewyn Davis Trailer – Fresh look at the Coen Brothers’ latest

July 2, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


A new red trailer for the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis has debuted, which certainly shows off the directors’ flair, even if it is something a little different than most people expect from them (although if you look at their filmography, they are more eclectic than most give them credit for).

Oscar Isaac stars as the title character, a folk singer making his way through the Greenwich Village music scene in the 1960s. The movie is loosely based on the life of folk singer Dave Van Ronk. Carey Mulligan, Justin Timberlake, Gerrett Hedlund, and John Goodman also star.

It certainly looks stylish, with plenty of the Coens’ trademark sharp dialogue, although it’s definitely one of their more idiosyncratic efforts. The film debuted at Cannes and will get an Oscar-bait end of year cinema release in the US, with a January 2014 opening set for the UK.
