George Clooney isn’t getting much of a honeymoon, since he will have to be back to work on Monday. The Oscar winner will be working with his O Brother, Where Art Thou? directors Joel and Ethan Coen again on Hail Caesar!.
Sources for Variety confirmed that cameras will start rolling on the film in Los Angeles on Monday.
The film is set during the 1950s, with Clooney starring as fixer helping Hollywood studios keep up their stars’ squeaky clean public images. Its star-studded cast also includes Ralph Fiennes, Josh Brolin, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill, Frances McDormand, Channing Tatum. and Alden Ehrenreich.
Just last week, Universal scheduled the film for a Feb. 5, 2016 release, which is an interesting choice since the Coens’ films are usually awards magnets.
Hail Caesar! is the Oscar-winning duo’s follow-up to last year’s acclaimed Inside Llewyn Davis, which was released by Sony. This new movie will re-team them with Working Title, which also produced other Coen hits like Fargo, The Big Lebowski, A Serious Man and O Brother.
Clooney will be seen next in Disney’s Tomorrowland in May 2015.
