And then Joel and Ethan would call me and say, Stop saying that!
We havent written it.

SinceNo Country, Ive injected myself into their lives, said Brolin.
Its a very economical, educational process.
Maybe you could pay me more next time, since you always pay me nothing, added Brolin.
And then, I got a call that said, Do you want to do this thing?
(When Clooney was deciding to do)O Brother, they were actually going to go see him.
They would never come see me, but they do make a phone call.
They do spend that money.
And they said, Would you be interested in maybe being involved in this movie?
I thought it was for a fairly small part until I read it.
They had written me an email together, recalled Hill.
It was one email from both of them, and it was so beautifully and hilariously written.
It was written in their dialogue, as the Coen brothers.
They said, Its a very, very small part.
And I just said, Yes, right away, without even reading it.
They asked me, Do you know how to tap?
said Tatum, who has done rather different dancing in hisMagic Mikemovies.
And I was like, No.
And they were like, Well, were thinking about tapping.
Do you think you could learn it?
And I was like, Yeah.
And then, they asked, Can you sing?
No, I cant do that.
Yeah, I can try.
Im sure they were like, Oh, he can figure it out.
But I was terrified of ruining the movie.
Theyve been wanting to slap George Clooney.
First, I want it out there that Josh has very, very soft hands, retorted Clooney.
He slapped me like Oscar Wilde.
He was so soft.
I barely felt it, really.
(Mannix) is smart, but the rest of us are not particularly the brightest group.
The fantasy was to wear the leather skirt, joked Clooney.
When you go back and look at those films, its hard not to crack a smile through them.
They take it very seriously.
His hair was always dyed black.
Or like Tony Curtis inSpartacus.
There are a couple things they do that are really unique.
They have a guy, named J. Todd Anderson, who does all their storyboards.
Never, concurred Brolin.
Because it is mapped out, maybe its a subliminal, full-blown Orwellian manipulation thats happening.
But you feel totally collaborative.
If you want to change the words, make them your own.
And you say, But, you said I could change it.
And he goes, Oh, I know.
Thats great, and you should.
But, thats not what it said.
Hail, Caesar!opens in theaters today (February 5th).
