Ralph Fiennes Is His Best Self In The Hilarious New Trailer For The Coen Brothers’ ‘Hail, Caesar!’

There are already plenty of reasons to see Joel and Ethan Coen’s forthcoming film Hail, Caesar!. 

It’s the next in a long line of critical hits for the directors including Fargo, The Big Lebowski, and O Brother, Where Art Thou? and looks to be made with that same mix of technical expertise and wit they’ve become known for. It features an impressive lineup of A-list stars including George Clooney, Scarlett Johansson, Jonah Hill and Tilda Swinton among others playing joyful caricatures in a technicolour comedy/action satire of Old Hollywood. It also features this moment from Channing Tatum which frankly sells itself.

Now, a little over a month from release, the film’s second trailer has dropped online.

Taking a decidedly more focussed approach to the first, it’s centred around a pithy exchange between Alden Ehrenreich and Ralph Fiennes and has delivered one more reason to see the film: Ralph Fiennes’ comedy. The actor who played Lord Voldemort and the star of classic comedies such as Schindler’s List and The English Patient is putting on his charming Grand Budapest schtick once more and it looks great.

Here’s the first trailer if you missed it:
