The story is set in the 1950's at the time of the old Hollywood Star System and focuses on Eddie Mannix, a man who works for the studios to protect the squeaky clean image of their under contract stars. That means squashing scandalous stories before they happen be it sex, drugs, DUIs, etc. At the time, those threats had to be handled any means necessary be it bribes or threats, or use of things like illegal wiretapping.
Johansson will play an actress who suddenly becomes pregnant as her film is about to go into production. It’s a good fit, since Johansson announced in March that she was pregnant. The Wrap says that Hill's role is being kept a secret for now.
George Clooney "No Country for Old Men" cohort Josh Brolin Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes, and Tilda Swinton also star in the film.
The Coens, Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan will produce the pic.
The plan is for the star packed film to go into production this fall
Johansson appeared in the Coens' 2001 film The Man Who Wasn't There.
