Warren Beatty’s Howard Hughes Film Gets a Title (plus First Pics)
After what seems like eons, Warren Beatty’s previously untitled Howard Hughes film finally has a name and a release date – it will be called Rules Don’t Apply and be released by 20th Century Fox on November 11th. Given this date, Fox seems set on a strong awards push for the film which stars hot ‘It’ actor Alden Ehrenreich, Lily Collins, Annette Bening, Alec Baldwin, Matthew Broderick, Candice Bergen, Steve Coogan and Beatty himself.
The film, which takes place in 1958, revolves around Hughes in the form of a love story between Collins’s pious actress character and Ehrenreich as Hughes’s conservative driver. It was written and co-produced by Beatty and is his first directorial effort since his Oscar-nominated Bulworth in 1998.
