Hail, Caesar! is the extremely fun-looking 50s-set screwball comedy from the Coen Brothers, which looks to be a loving ode to the Golden Age of Hollywood. If you haven't seen the trailer yet, do yourself a favour. The Coens have been on a fantastic winning streak the past few years, what with No Country for Old Men, Burn After Reading, A Serious Man, True Grit and Inside Llewyn Davis. Thanks to their consistent ability to churn out great movies, they keep attracting the attention of A-list caliber stars; with Hail, Caesar! they've got old pals George Clooney and Josh Brolin (Thanos himself, no less) back along with Channing Tatum, Tilda Swinton, Ralph Fiennes and Jonah Hill. That's not to mention our favourite former-KGB super spy in the form of Scarlett Johansson, here playing New Yoik-accented Deanna Moran, known for her water-based musical numbers. The film concerns a kidnapped movie star (Clooney) and the efforts of the film studio to get him back in time to finish the massive production titled - you guessed it - Hail, Caesar!. It looks like it could well be one of the best comedies of the year. Release Date: 5th February https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMqeoW3XRa0
