Fox has finally unleashed the trailer for actor-writer-director Warren Beatty's years in the making Howard Hughes film Rules Don't Apply [HUGHS]. Lily Collins [LICOL] stars as an aspiring young actress newly in Hollywood and Alden Ehrenreich [AEHRE] as her driver for the eccentric billionaire Hughes, played by Beatty.
It’s Hollywood, 1958. Small town beauty queen and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey (Collins), under contract to the infamous Howard Hughes (Beatty), arrives in Los Angeles. At the airport, she meets her driver Frank Forbes (Ehrenreich), who is engaged to be married to his 7th grade sweetheart and is a deeply religious Methodist. Their instant attraction not only puts their religious convictions to the test, but also defies Hughes’ #1 rule: no employee is allowed to have any relationship whatsoever with a contract actress. Hughes’ behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in very separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.
Rules Don't Apply opens in theaters on November 23th.
