Your first look at Warren Beatty’s Howard Hughes movie — VIDEO
Warren Beatty’s long-gestating Howard Hughes movie finally has a trailer.
Beatty stars as billionaire Hughes in “Rules Don’t Apply,” which he also wrote and directed. It’s his first acting role since 2001’s “Town and Country” and his first writing and directing gigs since 1998’s “Bulworth.”
Here’s the official description: “It’s Hollywood, 1958. Small town beauty queen and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey (Lily Collins), under contract to the infamous Howard Hughes (Beatty), arrives in Los Angeles. At the airport, she meets her driver Frank Forbes (Alden Ehrenreich), who is engaged to be married to his 7th grade sweetheart and is a deeply religious Methodist. Their instant attraction not only puts their religious convictions to the test, but also defies Hughes’ No. 1 rule: no employee is allowed to have any relationship whatsoever with a contract actress. Hughes’ behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in very separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.”
“Rules Don’t Apply” co-stars Alec Baldwin, Annette Bening, Candice Bergen, Matthew Broderick, Dabney Coleman, Steve Coogan, Ed Harris, Oliver Platt and Martin Sheen.
It opens Nov. 23.
