Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill in talks to join Coen Brothers’ Hail Caesar!

By Rick Marshall July 10, 2014

Celebrated sibling filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen have rarely had any trouble attracting all-star actors to their recent productions, and the upcoming Hail Caesar! appears to continue that trend, with Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill reportedly in talks to join the film’s cast. If the pair do indeed sign on for the film, they’ll be joining previously announced cast members George Clooney, Josh Brolin, Channing Tatum, Tilda Swinton, and Ralph Fiennes — giving the production an impressive collection of Oscar nominees and winners. According to Variety, Johansson will play an actress who becomes pregnant just before she begins work on a major production, which seems appropriate, given that Johansson announced that she was pregnant just a few months ago. The film will reportedly follow a Hollywood “fixer” in the 1950s who is tasked with keeping the industry’s stars in line and squashing bad press. There’s no word on the potential role for Hill. Hail Caesar! wouldn’t be the first Coen Brothers film to feature Johansson, who previously appeared in 2001’s The Man Who Wasn’t There with Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, and James Gandolfini. There’s no release date set for the film yet, but production is expected to begin this fall.

3 Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (May 3-5)

The cast of That Thing You Do!

The first weekend in May has arrived, and Hulu fans should be happy to hear that there's a new lineup of movies to enjoy. Like most of the major streamers, Hulu debuts the majority of its library additions on the first of the month. But there will more movies released on Hulu throughout May.

Since the first weekend of May is traditionally timed around the opening of a superhero movie, our first choice this weekend is a comic book film that's celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Our other two picks include Tom Hanks' directorial debut, and a generation-spanning drama that holds up three decades after its release.
