One thought on “Sheen Cast in Warren Beatty’s Untitled Howard Hughes Project

  1. Howard Hughes was a genius and Warren Beatty may join the club by selecting Hughes as background material for this new movie. I hope it gets nominated and wins an academy award. I would pay them to be part of this production. Good luck to all those involved.
