Let’s be very clear. Streisand does not attend public screenings of this sort on a regular basis.

Eddie Redmayne hosted the screening and was joined by the movie’s leading lady and Best Actress contender Emma Stone, John Legend, costumer Mary Zophres (an Oscar nominee for “True Grit”) and producer Jordan Horowitz.

That’s not too shabby of a cast for actor Dermot Mulroney who will be making his directorial debut with this picture. And it must be a pretty decent script as high profile actors like Jessica Alba, Christopher Walken and Blythe Danner were also circling the film at one point.

Why? The Coen Brothers actually meant to cast his father, 67-year-old actor James Brolin, not his son, Josh. In a piece written by the Coen Brothers for Esquire, they called their casting mistake a “flat-out boner.”
