Did you know

• For his role as Hobie Doyle, Alden Ehrenreich learned horseback riding, rope tricks, twirling guns, and playing the guitar. He has stated twirling the spaghetti, mimicking the lasso, was the hardest part of his role.

• The Coen brothers had been brainstorming the story for a decade but never actually wrote anything. George Clooney, as a practical joke, announced 'Hail, Caesar!' as his next film at a press conference. The Coens received so much publicity over Clooney's statement that they were effectively forced to make the film for real.

• Dolph Lundgren has an uncredited (initially much longer and almost entirely deleted) cameo as the submarine Captain. Lundgren said that he was very honored to play the part, having never expected to be asked for a movie directed by Joel and Ethan Coen.
