Alden Ehrenreich Poised To "Hail Caesar"

Alden Ehrenreich ("Beautiful Creatures," "Blue Jasmine") is in talks to join the cast of the Joel and Ethan Coen dark comedy "Hail Caesar" says Variety.


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.

Ehrenreich's role is unknown at this time,

George Clooney "No Country for Old Men" cohort  Josh Brolin Channing Tatum, Ralph Fiennes, Tilda Swinton  Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill 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
