Warren Beatty returns to the big screen after 15 years with Rules Don't Apply, which he also directed, co-produced and wrote the screenplay for. The film was made for 40 years! Beatty, 79, has been planning the biopic about Howard Hughes, the inventor, businessman, aviator, gangster businessman, filmmaker and billionaire, since a memorable meeting with him at a Beverly Hills hotel in 1973.
Rules Don't Apply is a romantic drama partly based on life Howard Hughes. The movie Aviator with Leonardo DiCaprio was also made about him Martin Scorsese, but another giant of cinematic art, Warren Beatty, who last directed the political satire Bulworth (1998), and before that Heaven Can Wait (1978), Red (1982), Dick Tracy (1990), approached it from the other end - as film producer.
It's a leitmotif love triangle, namely between a crazy millionaire (Warren Beatty), a poor but ambitious young man and a Methodist (Alden Ehenreich) and a small-caliber actress and devoted Baptist (Lily Collins). The action is set in fifties Hollywood, when the young aspiring actors arrive at the dream factory and both fall into Hughs arms. A spark flies between them, but Hugh's strict rules for his employees prevent them romantic relationship.
