That surprise Warren Beatty project has finally come into focus: Deadline reports the Hollywood legend will play Howard Hughes in the untitled Paramount film, though it won't be a straight-ahead biopic. Instead, at least part of the script will focus on a relationship Hughes had with a much younger woman when he was older. Beatty will apparently meet who's who of acting talent for roles, among them: Andrew Garfield, Alec Baldwin, Annette Bening, Shia LaBeouf, Jack Nicholson, Evan Rachel Wood and Rooney Mara. Huh. Wonder how Bening got a meeting. [Deadline]
