George Clooney and Josh Brolin join the Coens’ ‘Hail Caesar!’

The Coens are recruiting some of their favourite featured players for their upcoming comedy Hail Caesar!

According to Variety, Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men, True Grit) and George Clooney (O Brother, Intolerable Cruelty, Burn After Reading) will star in the pic.

It was previously reported that Hail Caesar! will be a “comical yarn” concerning a famed 1950’s muckraker who spies on Hollywood celebs for a gossip magazine.

If we had to guess, Brolin would probably play the muckraker and Clooney one of the celebs, but then, if anyone knows how to ugly up Clooney, it’s the Coens.
