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.

Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013. He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Hollywood Critics Association (HCA) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
