1) Hail, Caesar!
The Coen Brothers aren’t exactly ones to rush things. While the filmmaking duo have consistently released award-winning films for the past few decades, their latest project has been gestating since 2004.
Fortunately, Hail, Caesar! is finally set to premiere in 2016, just a short twelve years later after the idea was first discussed. Don’t believe us? Well there’s a trailer and everything, and it features the most impressive cast we’ve seen assembled in some time, including George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Josh Brolin, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes and Channing Tatum, who just so happens to be dressed as a sailor.
At its most basic level, the story of Hail, Caesar! revolves around the kidnap of a famous actor in 1920’s Hollywood, but the Coens’ script should bring far more to the table than that, including their trademark one-liners and dark humour threaded throughout.
Hollywood is already buzzing about Hail, Caesar! and based on the success of their previous releases, this should come as no surprise. The majority of Coen releases score extremely well on Rotten Tomatoes. Most recently, Inside Llewyn Davis attained a rating of 94% and the Oscar nominated True Grit scored 96%, so a perfect 100% could be on the cards for the Coen’s next masterpiece.
