Warren Beatty has not acted since 2001’s disaster TOWN & COUNTRY, or directed since 1998’s BULWORTH but the legendary former Hollywood hellraiser has been hard at work perfecting his script on a new Howard Hughes epic. British actress Felicity Jones, soon to be seen opposite Anton Yelchin in LIKE CRAZY, has landed the plum role as the love interest of the billionaire hollywood director-turned reclusive OCD sufferer.
The recent feature from Martin Scorcese, entitled THE AVIATOR with Leonardo DiCaprio as the lead, explored Hughes’ early career in Hollywood and the beginnings of his mental breakdown.
Beatty who featured in classics BONNIE AND CLYDE, THE PARALLAX VIEW and SHAMPOO also directed and starred in equally classic REDS, HEAVEN CAN WAIT and the visually stunning DICK TRACY. This latest Hughes film is a passion project for Beatty with a number of Hughes’ fascinating and legendary life events, tales and rumours ripe enough for the big-screen. In Beatty’s hands it’s sure to be interesting and brilliant to see him back doing what he does best.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
