A Harried Studio Fixer Tries to Find a Kidnapped Star in the New Coen Brothers Comedy ‘Hail Caesar’

In the official trailer for Hail Caesar, the newest film by the Coen Brothers set in the later years of the Golden Age of classic American cinema, a mustachioed Josh Brolin plays a harried studio fixer who needs to spring into action when the star of the eponymous blockbuster, played by George Clooney, goes missing and the lengths he goes to in order to get answers.

Starring Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, Scarlett Johansson, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Channing Tatum, Hail, Caesar! follows a single day in the life of a studio fixer who is presented with plenty of problems to fix.
