So as part of “researching” this movie and Alden Ehrenreich. I have watched both Beautiful Creatures and Hail Caesar and Ehrenreich is actually a pretty good actor. I was firmly in the Anthony Ingruber camp before they cast and must admit was a bit disappointed when they didn’t cast him.
He is a much better physical match for Ford than Ehrenreich who reminds me far more of Tom Hanks than Harrison Ford. My only real concern about Ingruber is that his performance would have turned into a 90 minute impression of Harrison Ford, but a decent director should be able to avoid that, “Would that it were so simple!”.
Anyway my concerns about Ehrenreich have been considerably reduced since watching these two movies, I still think my “suspension of disbelief” would have been greater with Ingruber.

I also think that John Powell’s scores so far have been pretty good, and the recent “leaked” photos have also helped alleviate my fears of a disaster. Woody Harrelsons character looks pretty awesome. Maybe this will turn out to be cool after all!
