The Coens’ increasingly incredible-sounding Hail Caesar now has Channing Tatum, Tilda Swinton and Ralph Fiennes linked to star alongside the previously announced George Clooney and Josh Brolin. We’re not worthy!
Variety first revealed the news of Tatum’s involvement – though it’s still being negotiated – while THR jumped on the bandwagon with news of Swinton and Fiennes.
It was previously reported that Hail Caesar! will be a “comical yarn” concerning a famed 1950′s muckraker who spies on Hollywood celebs for a gossip magazine.
The new reports suggest it will instead focus on a Hollywood “fixer” – to be played by Brolin – while Swinton will take on the part of the gossip columnist.
Fiennes will portray a studio exec, and Tatum, a “Gene Kelly-type” star.
We are, obviously, hugely excited.
