New Coen Bros. Movie 'Hail, Caeser!' Plot Details, News: Can We Call George Clooney Film A "Musical Comedy"?

"It's a musical comedy that takes place on a Hollywood backlot, so you pass through all these pictures that are in production there," Burwell said, according to Slash Film. Since we're seeing a number of different productions, that's where the confusion of how to describe the real film comes into play.

"I wouldn't actually call it a 'musical comedy' - there are movies within the movie, and those movies might have comedic music, but the movie we're making is actually not comical," he explained a little more, according to The Hollywood Reporter. "I haven't written the music yet, but I'm quite certain it's actually going to be quite the opposite. It's going to be rather serious, and it's about faith. It's not about the music. It's actually pretty complicated, musically - you'll see, the themes that I'm writing for the movie have to relate to the themes of the movies within the movie. So it's actually this rug with all these threads going in and out. But I haven't written it yet!

While this explanation might confuse us a bit, we do know that a mixture of funny and serious is a great recipe for a Coen Bros. film. Which side of the spectrum do you think Hail, Caeser! will end up on? Let us know in the comments section below!
