Yet another piece of awesome Coens-related news: Deadline reports that Josh Brolin has been tapped to star alongside George Clooney in the Coen brothers’ latest original screenplay, Hail Caesar. The Coens will also direct the film, a ‘50s-set comedy about a fixer who protects stars at Hollywood movie studios. No word if any other Coen mainstays will be joining in on the fun, but we’re sure there’s a part for John Goodman in there somewhere.
