Annette Bening Says Warren Beatty's Howard Hughes Movie Is 'Really a Romance'

Warren Beatty hasn’t directed a feature film since 1998’s Bulworth, so you could say his secretive, upcoming untitled Howard Hughes movie is being greeted with a tiny degree of anticipation. Very little is known about the pic, other than the fact that Beatty plays eccentric entrepreneur Howard Hughes and the ensemble cast is filled out by Lily Collins, Alden Ehrenreich, Alec Baldwin, and Annette Bening. Oh, and Beatty's been developing it for 40 years.

Collins previously told us that the film is essentially about “the trials and tribulations” of 1950s Hollywood, but beyond that she was tight lipped. So when Tommy sat down with Bening in anticipation of the release of her new film Danny Collins, he took the opportunity to ask the actress (and Beatty’s wife) about the Howard Hughes pic. Tommy asked if the film is coming out this year and Bening replied, “It’s coming out,” so we still don’t have a solidified time table, but the general thinking is that we’ll likely see the movie before 2015 is out.
