*UPDATE* Scarlett Johansson and Jonah Hill Join the Coen Brothers for 'Hail Caesar'



*UPDATE* The Wrap now says Jonah Hill is eying an unspecified role in Hail Caesar. This would be his first time working with the Coens. It does give him a chance to team up with his 22 Jump Street pal, Channing Tatum.

The Coen Brothers have been so incredibly consistent over the course of their career that a film like 2001's black & white noir, The Man Who Wasn't There, has been forgotten a little bit despite the acclaim it received. Much of the attention was focused on the style and performance of Billy Bob Thornton, but also great in a smaller role was Scarlett Johansson, and now after all this time she's finally working with the Coens again.

Johansson has joined the all-star cast of Hail Caesar, starring alongside George Clooney, Channing Tatum, Tilda Swinton, Josh Brolin, and Ralph Fiennes. Clooney plays a 1950s Hollywood fixer tasked with keeping the studio's stars in line and out of the press. Johansson will take on a small role as an actress who learns she is pregnant just before her film is about to go into production.

Filming on Hail Caesar is expected to begin this fall and we should see it in theaters in 2015.  [Variety]
